Let’s cut right to the chase. Everybody loves cake, right?
Right.
But as we all know, your favorite cake from your favorite bakery doesn’t exactly win awards in the “healthy diet“ department.
And especially not when you’re watching your macros.
Well, these cake recipes are here to the rescue.
Trying to cut back on sugar and calories?
Then skip the icing and reduce sweetness with Blood Orange Upside-Down Cake or Skinny Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Glaze.
Looking to cram in as much protein as possible?
Then complement your daily dose of protein powder with Birthday Cake Protein Blondies, Protein Pop Tart Cakes, or High-Protein Cinnamon Cake Bars.
Have food sensitivities or allergies?
Give the Almond-Orange Flan a try if you’re lactose intolerant, or whip up the Flourless Lemon Poppyseed Breakfast Cake or Apple Chickpea Cake with Lemony Cream Cheese Frosting if you’re gluten free.
Just as concerned with your micros as you are with your macros?
Then sneak healthy nutrients into your sweets with Chocolate Beet Bundt Cake or the Kabocha Squash Spice Cake.
My point? You can have your cake and health goals, too.
Enjoy!
This lightly sweetened cake is great with coffee or tea in the afternoon. And with fresh orange slices decorating the top, it would be a shame to cover it up with extra sugar in the form of frosting.
Like other upside-down cakes, it has a caramel top instead. This one has the distinctive flavor of cardamom, and the cornmeal goes well with the mixture of olive oil and Greek yogurt, used in place of butter.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
