Tempt My TummyTuesday.....

**Hey gang. Just want you to know that I HAVE NOT DELETED ANYONE'S post this week. I think Mr. Linky is still a litty goofey. So, if you link is missing, would you just link back up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello everyone and welcome to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. My sister, Lana, and I co-host this blog carnival. We share recipes, kitchen and cooking tips, restaurant reviews, and anything food related that you want to share. You know the rule of a blog carnival, please mention the blog or TMTT in your post and link back to us. Don't forget to use Mr. Linky, down below.PLEASE DO NOT HOST YOUR OWN Tempt My Tummy Tuesday with Mr. Linky. Thank You.
(If your post was DELETED, go HERE for an explanation.)



So, I am trying to better manage what I eat and working on losing some weight. I am letting Weight Watchers Online join me in the journey. I am not a big "go to meetings" person. So, this is working well for me....so far. I am more aware of the food I am eating and keeping track of the "points" for the food. With that in mind, I am posting a recipe that I found on the Weight Watchers website. One serving is equal to 5 points. So, if you really want the dessert and have been managing your points well, throughout the day, go for it.
Of course if you don't care about the calories and fat.....
HERE is the link to the Cream Cheese Pound Cake that I posted in March as a TMTT recipe.


Vanilla Pound Cake



1 spray(s) cooking spray

2 large egg(s)

3 large egg white(s)

2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

8 oz light cream cheese

3 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/3 cup(s) sugar

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp table salt

1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, vanilla extract and almond extract; set aside.

  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until blended. Beat in sugar, baking powder and salt until blended. Beat in flour and egg mixture, little by little, beginning and ending with flour.

  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes.

  • Cool cake in pan on a wire rack. Cut into 12 slices and serve. Yields 1 slice per serving.

Hope you enjoy this slightly less fattening alternative. Do you have a weight loss tip or low fat idea you want to share? Leave me a comment and thanks for participating in Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.

I bought strawberrys today at Aldi's for $.99 per box. Your pound cake would be awesome with strawberries smothered on it.
Thanks for hosting!

I posted a similar recipe today-- pound cake for strawberry shortcake. Great minds must think alike! Yours sounds really good, I love anything with cream cheese!

Kristen said...

Cream cheese is such a great addition to pound cake. The idea of not adding pounds to ourselves when eating said cake is a great thing!

I'm so excited to finally join in .....I've been watching all the cooking and baking going on for months! Time to join in! Thanks for hosting.

I made a cake kind of like this tonight. Butter cake. It got gobbled up immediately. Strawberry shortcake is such a wonderful "Welcome to Summer" dessert!

YUM that sounds wonderful!!
I did WW online a few years ago and loved it - until I became obsessed with points! - I felt that was ALL I thought about! LOL

But their message boards are GREAT resources for recipes and tips!!

I'll have to post some of mine soon- many of them my children enjoyed as well!

Lori said...

Oh no, you're trying to lose weight and here I am posting about homemade ice cream. :) I do like the idea of the less fattening pound cake though. Wonder how that would be served with my homemade ice cream. LOL!
Have a great day, Lisa!

Sharon said...

Yum!! I LOVE pound cake! Not sure what happened to Mr. Linky but hook up to me for some fantastic Sticky Chicken! The pound cake would make a wonderful dessert!

And if I'm trying to lose weight....I go low carb. Sadly, anything with sugar and bread is not my friend.

I didn't see Mr. Linky today so I am leaving my post in the comments...
Mine is not a very good recipe for losing weight, but since it's a birthday cake I don't think it should have to be...everyone should cheat a little on their birthday :)
