Does anyone have a 'healthy' cake recipe?

[Neenook]

It is DH's birthday on Tuesday and he is 2 weeks into a major - but long term - weight loss/fitness plan. He has already lost 8lb but has another 4 stone to go.

I always bake a cake for his birthday, but don't want to make things difficult for him and wondered whether anyone had a low fat/healthy cake recipe that I could use? This is a huge effort/commitment from DH and I really want to support him, but still want him to have a birthday cake! (soppy wife emoticon)

Bump.

No - was going to offer my all-bran cake for ...erm lower half health - don't think this is quite what you're looking for!
