- Comments: This cake is rich in flavor without the fat, thanks to a fruit puree which provides taste, texture, and moistness. The elimination of shortening has obvious advantages for our waistlines, as well as an interesting historical note. Fruit purees were traditionally used in settlers' times because pantries were usually well stocked with them during the fall and winter months when butter was hard to come by. Today, this ingredient has happily resurrected as an effective, tasty way to trim calories and fat.
