Opt for lighter ingredients like low-fat buttermilk and Greek yogurt to reduce the calorie and fat content of your cake.
Replace some or all of the white flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Whole wheat flour also adds a nutty flavor to the cake.
Cut down on the amount of sugar in your recipe or use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup for a healthier alternative.
Incorporate fresh or dried fruit into your cake batter for natural sweetness and added fiber. Berries, apples, and bananas work well in buttermilk cakes.
Use natural extracts like vanilla, almond, or lemon to add flavor to your cake without adding extra calories or sugar.
Keep portion sizes in check to avoid overeating. A small slice of light buttermilk bundt cake can be a satisfying treat without derailing your diet.
If you're adding frosting to your bundt cake, opt for a lighter version made with whipped cream or Greek yogurt instead of traditional buttercream.
