WW Points (Current System)
✅ 3 Points per slice (12 slices total)
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box sugar-free white or yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces oil) — 0 points
- 3 egg whites (instead of whole eggs) — 0 points
- ¾ cup whole berry cranberry sauce (light or reduced sugar if possible)
Cream Cheese Swirl
- 1 (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, softened — 0 points
- 2 tbsp light butter — 4 points total
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup powdered erythritol or monk-fruit sweetener (instead of powdered sugar)
Topping
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped (reduced amount for points control)
- Instructions
Step 1 — Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread chopped pecans evenly on the bottom.
Step 2 — Make Cake Batter
In a large bowl mix:
cake mix
water
applesauce
egg whites
Mix until smooth and pour over pecans.
Step 3 — Cream Cheese Swirl
Beat together:
fat-free cream cheese
light butter
vanilla
Add powdered sweetener and mix until creamy.
Step 4 — Assemble
Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture and cranberry sauce over batter.
Lightly swirl using a knife — don’t overmix so you keep visible swirls.
Step 5 — Bake
Bake 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean of raw batter.
Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
