I just read that Daphne Oz is the new Weight Watchers Ambassador. Daphne is the uber-talented chef/author daughter of Dr. Oz. You should check her out. When I read about how much she loves WW, I decided to search for some WW friendly recipes. And since we received a bunch of requests for healthier lower-calorie recipes….this 4 point Sunshine Cake looked like a good choice….it only has 4 points and if you are not familiar with the Weight Watchers program, that is very good…you can definitely have a slice or 2!!!! I just took mine out of the oven and am about to go and ice it!!! Bon Appetit!!!
