How to Make Low Fat Citrus Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 15.25 oz (1 box) yellow cake mix and 3.4 oz (1 box) instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, undrained, and 1/4 cup egg substitute.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and the oranges are fully pureed.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly touched.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar (optional).
