I wanted to create a dessert for those that don’t/can’t eat the Sugar Free products.

Blueberry Bundt Cake with Roasted Pecans and a Sweet Glaze

6 WW Points per slice 16 slices

Heat oven 350F degrees

1 box of 15.25oz. box of White Cake Mix

4 egg whites

½ cup of unsweetened applesauce

1 ¼ cup of water

2 ½ cups of fresh blueberries (reserve ½ cup)

¼ cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice

Zest from 1 lemon

Spray your Bundt with cooking spray then dust with flour

With hand mixer, blend all ingredients except blueberries. Once batter is smooth fold in your blueberries.

Pour batter in prepared pan, then top with reserved blueberries.  Bake 37-41 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer, if it comes out of the cake clean, you’re done.  Remove from oven, don’t turn it off, and let cake cool in pan for at least 20 minutes, this is a must when using Bundt pans.

While that’s cooling, toast 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans in oven for 1-2 minutes, if you over toast them they will taste bitter, so after 1 or 2 minutes remove from oven and taste, if they are bitter, do it again for less time, you don’t want bitter pecans to ruin your whole cake!!   

Mix 3 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar with 1 ½ tsp of water. Set aside with pecans. 

After the 20 minutes are up, turn out your cake onto chosen cake plate or stand. If it doesn’t fall right away, immediately turn back and wait another 10 minutes. 

Once you’ve got your cake out of the pan and onto your plate, place in refrigerator to get cold 30-40 minutes.

Now that your cake is cold, drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with pecans.

Mix your vanilla pudding mix with 5/8 cup of milk and pour into holes.

Mix your chocolate pudding with ¾ cups of milk and whisk until it just starts to thicken spread over top of cake and frost. I chose to frost the sides but you can do this however you wish.

Blend until combined and lump free.

Frosting: In a separate bowl add

1 tbsp of Sweetened Condensed Milk

3 tbsp of powdered sugar mixed with 2 1/2 tbsp. of water

With hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside

30 grams of chopped Walnuts, this is where you want to use your scale. 

Bake 45-50 minutes or until inserted skewer comes out clean, this one is tricky although skewer was clean mine could have done with 5 more minutes, ovens vary so check at 45 minutes.

Let cool for 20 minutes before turning out onto chosen plate. 

When ready to frost, make sure your frosting is thin enough to drizzle if it isn't, you can microwave it for 10 seconds at a time until it is, don't cook your cream cheese. 

Frost or drizzle your cake any which way you want. Top with 30 grams of chopped Walnuts, (this is where you want to use your scale) for a crunch that goes well with this soft cake and why not add some shredded carrots for a bit of color.

1 cup of water

1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup of Fresh squeezed Cara Cara Orange juice (about 1 1/2 oranges)

Preheat oven 350 degrees, Grease Bundt pan generously then lightly dust with flour. Place the 8 slices of orange, skinnier side up fat side down, evenly spaced around bottom of pan. Fold orange chunks into batter. Using a scoop or small measuring cup, fill the space between the orange slices in the pan with batter, this will help stabilize them when you pour the rest of the batter in, now add the rest of your batter, you can use a scoop or gently pour it in.

Bake 38-43 minutes. Remove when inserted skewer comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 20 minutes. Place cake plate of choice over Bundt pan, lift and flip, cake should release from Bundt and end up on cake plate.
