A DIFFERENT CHOCOLATE ECLAIR CAKE (DESSERT)
Most Eclair Cakes or Desserts use Graham Crackers. I find that by using Club Crackers, the desert actually tastes more like a true Chocolate Eclair. I find its not as sweet using the Club Crackers also. If you don't want to make the frosting, use a ready made chocolate fudge frosting. Just heat for a few seconds so its pourable. Cook time is chill time. To make it lighter, you can use sugar free pudding, low fat milk, low fat Club crackers, and sugar free Cool Whip.

A DIFFERENT FLUFFY, LIGHT AND MOIST CARROT CAKE (VERY LOW FAT)
I tried this recipe from a site and changed only one thing (I added 2 teaspoons cinnamon instead of the recommended 1 teaspoon orange extract) and it turned out very fluffy and moist. It also doesn't use butter or oil so its light and delicious. The frosting also doesn't use any butter so its light and delicious.

DELICTABLY DIFFERENT "COFFEE" CAKE
I got bored last night and decided to make something "sweet" and this is what I ended up with. It is not a dense cake, but rather light, however, it isn't super sweet. You can use any choice of liquid coffee creamer that you desire. This fills the house with a wondeful smell while cooking.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you avoid scrambling around in the middle of the process.
- Measure accurately: Using the correct measurements is essential for successful baking. Invest in a good set of measuring cups and spoons, and make sure to level off your ingredients when measuring.
- Follow the recipe: Baking is a science, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't substitute ingredients or change the measurements unless you know what you're doing.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing can make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for baking. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking.
- Don't open the oven door: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Wait until the cake is finished baking before you open the door.
- Let the cake cool completely: Before you frost or decorate your cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off the cake.
Conclusion:
With a little practice, you'll be able to bake delicious cakes that will impress your family and friends. Just remember to follow the tips above, and you'll be on your way to baking success.
