Blackberry Upside-down Cake
This last birthday my mother gave me one of the coolest gifts ever! She gave me an anthology of short stories, and a cook book of sweet desserts using only natural sugars.
Today I Blackberry Upside-down Cake. It is made with whole wheat flour and fruit juice reduction. (You boil a can of frozen fruit juice, white grape or apple are recommended most, for about 10 minutes until the juice reduces into a syrup). The fruit juice reduction takes the place of any sugars that would naturally be used in a cake. The cake called for no shortening, instead just 2 tablespoons of oil. I was initially a little worried that all the healthy stuff wouldn't taste so great, but clearly I was wrong. The cake has a heavier texture than boxed cakes, is less sweet, but tastes better than most traditional cakes. The best part about the cakes was that I didn't feel bad about eating it, and I could eat two servings in one sitting and not feel like I was being too unhealthy. Oh, and any cake with blackberries in it is completely ok with me!!!
I got the official Bill and Audie approval as well. :)

This is meerly a public service confirmation of my endorsement of the healthy blackberry cake (and any other cake for that matter Sarah makes).

Glad to see you're still eating healthy even though you're about to graduate! That cake sounds like all sorts of healthy, really. Fruit, very important. :)

I'm feeling a bit skeptical about this. Perhaps you'll have to prove it to me that it is indeed that good. How about on Friday ;)
