Sugar Free Birthday Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons softened butter
1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar substitute for baking, such as Equal
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/2 c. sugar-free jam of yoour choice
1 c. nondairy, fat-free whipped topping

1. Prehead the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line 2 8" cake pans with waxed paper.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and the salt together

4. Mix the butter and vanilla together at medium speed until it is fluffy.

5.Gradually add the sugar substitute.

6. Add the egg, beating until the mixture is fluffy.

7. Add flour mixture, alternating with milk, beating on low speed until well-blended.

8. Pour mixture into the pans; bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the cake is done.

9. Cool thoroughly.

10. Spread the sugar-free jam on the bottom layer of cake.

11. Stack one layer on top of the other.

12. Spread the whipped topping over the cake. You may color the topping with food coloring if you like
before spreading.

13. Refrigerate cake until shortly before serving; decorate.

You can use sugar-free pudding to ice the cake instead of whipped topping if you like. For instance, use chocolate pudding for chocolate icing. You can also sprinkle the whipped topping with sugar-free jello. Use silk flowers, small toys, sugar-free candy, and, of course, candles to decorate.

I usually will take the end of a wooden spoon and poke holes through the cake every 2 inched or so.  Then I would pour in jello and sugar free pudding. Save some puuding and sugar free whip cream for the top! Best flavors are strawberry and orange! Keep refridgerated!!
