Preparation
Step 1
Talk about temptation—those store-bought boxed cake mixes are so simple to make and yes, they are yummy! But a slice can cost you more than 300 calories including the frosting, not to mention more than 9 teaspoons of added sugar!
This mini version, on the other hand, is a calorie bargain with just 73 calories. The secret ingredient: Black beans, which take the place of the oil and eggs in the cake mix. Shh! If you don’t tell, no one will ever know!
