I lightened up this quick and easy dessert by making a few substitutions. Because the treat is so sweet, no one will know it's healthy, too.—Roxanne Chan, Albany, California.

Ingredients

2 large egg whites, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperture
1/2 cup lemon yogurt
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/4 cup reduced-sugar orange marmalade, warmed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, egg, yogurt, honey, oil, lemon zest and extract until well blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into yogurt mixture.
Transfer batter to prepared pan; top with blueberries and almonds. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Drizzle marmalade over warm cake. Cool on a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

Editor's Note

If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.
