I wanted to change this recipe to be a little less caloricly dense and get a bit more fiber. I subbed in splenda for the two cups of sugar, fat free plain yogurt Instead of regular, and did half and half all purpose flour and whole wheat flour. I also used extra virgin olive oil instead of butter. I like an extra lemon kick also so I added a teaspoon of lemon extract along with the recommended amount of juice. I also cut back the poppy seeds to 1/2 cup. I also cooked it in a decorative bunt pan for kicks. Everything turned out great. Of course it will not taste exactly like the original recipe, but it is a good start to a more spot one low-cal replication. My friends and family enjoyed it. Next time I will try a bit more lemon extract and probably a half a cup less splenda.
