Hey, great trick and LOW IN FAT:
Replace all egg and oil/water combination called in any cake mix with
one can of pumpkin. It's low in fat and great tasting! Works in all
cake mixes (I've tried them ALL) and the kids don't know the
difference. It's a Weight Watchers trick I found from a mom that had
allergy kids!
