Craving a Slice of Cake for a Snack?
There’s always room for a little slice of cake during your afternoon break. Yet, there’s that inner voice telling you to resist the temptation. Meanwhile, why is that gleaming, store-bought cake still sitting in your pantry? You thought you had done a thorough purge to avoid this exact scenario. Just before you started your dietary re-balancing, you handed off all your guilty little treats to the neighbor—who, unlike you, seems to eat whatever she wants without gaining an ounce. Somehow, this one managed to escape your careful clearing…

Like any respectable cake, this one doesn’t skimp on the fats. Labeled as “pure butter,” it contains over 15g of fat per 100g, nearly 10g of which are saturated. That’s not great for your waistline or your arteries, but as always, it’s all about frequency and quantity. The real problem is, once you start, it’s hard to stop. It’s not just the fats and sugars, but also the additives that give your cake that devilishly moreish taste…
Could Homemade Be the Solution?
What if the solution to this dilemma was as simple as switching to homemade at snack time? This is the approach of nutritionist Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen, who opts for a recipe for a lighter cake without any butter or oil. To achieve a moist and soft texture, his secret is to simply use whole milk yogurt, which contains only about 4% fat on average—hardly a concern for your calorie count.
Ready to tie on your apron? In a mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs, 150g of wheat flour, 50g of cornstarch, 100g of brown sugar, a packet of vanilla sugar, a packet of baking powder, and one whole milk yogurt until the mixture is smooth. Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 minutes in an oven preheated to 410°F (210°C). Check for doneness with a knife tip—it should come out clean. Want to make it even more tempting? Instead of chocolate chips or traditional candied fruits, try adding 3 types of fresh, chopped fruits to the mix!
By opting for this homemade alternative, you can indulge without the guilt, enjoying a cake that’s lighter in fats but still rich in flavor. So next time that craving hits, remember that a healthier, homemade option is just a few simple steps away.
