WW Coconut Cloud Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) sugar-free angel food cake mix
- 1 can (about 14 oz) light coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (divided)
- 1/2 cup fat-free whipped topping
- 1 tablespoon coconut extract (optional, for extra coconut flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or angel food cake pan.
- Prepare the cake: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free angel food cake mix and the light coconut milk. Stir until well mixed. The coconut milk will add a creamy, coconut flavor to the angel food cake base.
- Add coconut: Stir in about 1/2 cup of the shredded unsweetened coconut (reserving the rest for topping) into the cake batter to infuse more coconut flavor.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, fold together the fat-free whipped topping, the remaining shredded coconut (1/2 cup), coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the coconut topping evenly over the top of the cake. You can also sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar on top for a light dusting of sweetness.
- Serve: Slice the cake into 12 servings. For added freshness, you can serve each piece with some fresh berries on the side.
WW Points (Approximate):
- Personal Points: Points will depend on the exact ingredients you use, but with angel food cake mix (which is typically low in points) and light coconut milk, this should be a relatively low-point dessert. The whipped topping can be counted as part of your points, and the coconut adds flavor without too many additional points.
- Generally, this cake could be around 4-6 points per slice based on WW’s points system. For an accurate count, check the specific items you’re using and calculate the points accordingly.
Tips:
- Make it even lighter: If you want to reduce the points even further, you could use a reduced-fat whipped topping or even make your own by whipping up some fat-free Greek yogurt with a touch of sweetener.
- For extra texture: You can also add a few toasted coconut flakes on top for a crispy topping that adds a little crunch.
