When I had picked up the new Weight Watchers Good Deal
cookbook at my local Weight Watchers meeting, I had marked off a number of
recipes that I wanted to try. One of the desserts I marked off to make was the Ginger-Lime Bundt Cake. Since I had made another recipe which used
lime and ginger, I had those two main ingredients on hand … so as a stress
reliever one night I decided to bake and whip up a delicious specialty.
Prepping the cake took truly not much time at all. I followed all directions as listed and baked
my cake for the full 45 minutes. I was left with delicious perfection. My end
result didn’t quite resemble the photograph in the book (the top of my cake puffed
out and cracked a bit) instead of it being flat on top.
After my cake cooled, I drizzled the glaze over it and
within 5 minutes it had set. The cake was definitely far moister the same day
it was baked, whereas it was good, but a little drier the days following. Taste
wise the cake is pretty delicious – it’s got a citrusy vanilla flavor to it and
the ginger plays off perfectly with the other flavors without being
overwhelming. I do have to say, when I saw the serving size I felt I would be a
little jipped … but the cake is undoubtedly a dense, filling cake. It’s very
reminiscent of a pound cake.
The cake itself serves 20 people and each slice is 181
calories or 5 points plus values. Well worth it, in my opinion!
