Since yesterday was Kevin's birthday, and I recently saw a cake design I really wanted to try, I busted out the skills and made him a birthday cake.
As we all know, I'm obsessed with the Devil's Food Cake mix + canned pumpkin recipe for muffins. This time I decided to make it in cake form.
Thank goodness for the icing ... the rounds didn't hold up all that well, but once it was on the cake stand and decorated, you could never tell.
I am not a fan of Peeps - in fact I think think they are really gross, but turned upside down, they really do make cute petals.
Calorie-wise, the cake itself is 181 calories a serving if you cut it into 12 pieces and don't use icing. However, the Peeps make it really easy to divide the cake into 20 servings!
Running all of the ingredients through my handy-dandy recipe calculator, I'm proud to announce a cake that is only 213 calories and 5.7 grams of fat a serving!
I can have my cake and eat it too! YAY!
