How to Make Low Fat Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) low-fat lemon cake mix and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add 1 cup low-fat sour cream, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt, 2 large egg substitutes (or 2 eggs), and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  4. Beat at medium speed for 5-6 minutes, until batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Gently stir in 2 tablespoons poppy seeds by hand.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
