Expert Tips

*To toast pecans, heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

We used fat-free sour cream in this recipe, but you can use reduced-fat sour cream instead.

Toasting the pecans is a great way to add extra flavor without increasing fat or calories.

Here is another healthy suggestion. Instead of using sour cream, use low fat plain yogart. That will lower the calories even more and make the cake more moist.
