Sweets are high in calories, and most of them are prohibited. That is why numerous recipes for low-calorie cakes have appeared that do not harm the figure and can be consumed even during the process of losing weight.
At the same time, they are not inferior in taste to classic delicacies, and sometimes even surpass them. The calorie content of one serving of such a cake usually does not exceed 200 kcal.
Name of the cake | Portion of the classic version, kcal | Portion of light version, kcal | BZHU classic version | BJU light version |
Tiramisu | 400-500 | 69 | 6/18/25 | 3/3/8 |
Poppy | 543 | 201 | 10/39/36 | 3/6/24 |
White chocolate mousse | 350 | 213 | 5/29/27 | 4/8/31 |
Fruit tart | 310 | 155 | 4/11/57 | 5/6/33 |
Such desserts have a significantly lower energy value compared to classic options. However, moderation should be observed when consuming light versions of cakes, as they contain a lot of fast carbohydrates, which can cause overeating. The balance of BZHU in them is not very different from that of classic desserts, and it cannot be called healthy.
