Mazola Corn Oil Cake Recipe

When preparing “better for you” recipes like this delicious pound cake, I look for ingredients that I can swap for lighter alternatives. For recipes that call for butter or oil, I like to use cholesterol free Mazola® Corn Oil 40 oz. instead.

With a neutral taste and a high smoke point, heart-healthy Mazola Corn Oil is perfect for everything from stir-frying and sautéing to baking. It is truly an all-purpose cooking oil.

Lighter Blueberry Pound Cake

It is no secret that my husband and I are major dessert-lovers. This week I decided to create a “better for you” cake recipe using Mazola Corn Oil.

With just a few simple swaps, I was able to make this delicious, lightened up, blueberry lemon pound cake.

I used Mazola® Corn Oil in place of the butter in the original recipe. I also swapped the sour cream the recipe calls for with nonfat Greek yogurt, and the sugar for a sugar substitute suitable for baking.

The result was a moist and delicious blueberry lemon pound cake, perfect for enjoying as a guilt-free dessert after a lightened-up meal.

    1 Cup sugar substitute? Does that mean to use a cups worth of sugar substitute? OR to use sugar substitute that will taste the same as 1 cup of sugar?

    Great question! Use the amount of sugar substitute that would be equivalent in taste to 1 cup sugar. In my case the sugar substitute I used is has a 1:1 ratio with sugar so it was the same amount.
