Good gravy, this thread should be illegal. I die every time. The crumb topping looks reaaallly gooood (especially after reading that it tastes like OreoJoe's)  |

Seriously, that's a gorgeous cake. I LOVE the combination of dessert and vanilla ice cream, especially if the dessert is fresh out of the oven (first time I had this was at Red Lobster, I think with their old Fudge Overboard -- hot brownie + vanilla ice cream. So delicious!). Does anyone have recommendations for something light to bake? I've been avoiding it because everything that I bake is generally a bit too unhealthy. If it's something that isn't too bad I would feel better.  |

@sorie: Your comment made me soooooo happy. (8 Ice: Hmmmm, one tip for "healthier" baking is that you can replace up to half the oil in most recipes with applesauce. As for recipe ideas, I haven't actually gotten the chance to try many/any of these, but one of my favorite cooks has many low fat baked goods over at the Fat Free Vegan desserts page. I've wanted to try the cherry snack cake for a long time and the Peach Upside-Down Cake looks awesome (too bad my brother won't touch fruit). Many of these recipes use applesauce instead of oil, which results in a different kind of texture (like the Banana-Maple Oatmeal Cookies, while decent, are quite chewy and get chewier as they cool). I think the cakes might hold up better, but I can't be sure. If you try one of these recipes, you'll have to report back to me! And remember that stuff like soy milk and soy yogurt can be replaced by not-soy milk and not-soy yogurt, but you don't have to report that back to me. Also, I finally got a Bookface, so I'm going to bother you soon. 8| I'm Shannon. |

No worries! I thought that may have happened. Anyway, I really don't know the ins and outs of Bookface, so I'm not sure if that did anything, but I cancelled the request and then re-requested. If not, you can find me through Jess' friends, I'm the Shannon who doesn't go to MIT. 8|
