Ingredients:




--------------------------------FOR
THE CAKE--------------------------------


     5    Eggs


     5 tb Hot water


   3/4 c  Sugar


     1 tb Baking powder





------------------------------FOR
THE FROSTING------------------------------


     1 pk Instant low-cal pudding


          .any flavor you like (small)


   1/4 c  Powdered sugar


     1 c  Cold milk


     1    8 oz container low-cal non-


          -dairy whipped topping





 For the Cake: Separate eggs and put in two different


 bowls. Beat the egg yolks with a third of the sugar


 until it is yellow and creamy. Beat the egg whites


 until very stiff, and then beat in the rest of the


 sugar. Sieve the four over the egg yolk mixture and


 then put the egg snow on top. Fold gently. Line a


 springform pan with waxed paper and grease the paper


 with some margarine, bottom only. Fill with the


 mixture and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes, or until a


 toothpick comes out clean. Let cool a little, open the


 springform, invert the cake on a platter and take off


 the waxed paper carefully. When cake is completely


 cooled, cut gently in half. FOR THE PUDDING FROSTING:


 Combine pudding with milk and sugar in a small bowl,


 and beat slowly until well blended, about one minute.


 Fold in the non-dairy whipped topping. Cool in the


 refrigerator until nice and cool and stiff. Fill the


 middle of the cake, with a third and put the top of


 the cake on. Spread the rest all over as regular


 frosting. Heap up little mounds on the rim if it is a


 birthday cake and decorate with candies or chocolate


 or anything you would on a regular frosted cake. Put


 cake in the refrigerator over night. Makes a light,


 fresh cake even children love and you can add some


 cocoa to the cake mix to have a dark cake and frost


 with vanilla pudding or pecan.
