Use whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour
I think if you're going to have cake, just cut a smaller piece.





However, the cream cheese frosting is the most fattening part of the cake. Leave it off and sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar instead. Also, for the cake, leave out 1/2 the oil and substitute with an equal amount of applesauce.





You'll have a perfectly edible, ';diet'; cake.
