If you’re a cake lover, you’ll be pleased to hear there are some great cholesterol-friendly cake recipes, including both chocolate and fruit options.

The recipes below combine cholesterol-friendly ingredients with natural sweeteners, like dried fruit and apple sauce. Some of them also contain ingredients that actively lower cholesterol, like apples, nuts and seeds.

Athough these cakes contain cholesterol friendly ingredients, some contain sugar and other sweeteners, so I’d recommend eating them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Eating them is a great way to add more fibre to your daily diet, which helps to lower cholesterol. I always carry a packet around in my bag, and have boxes of them at home and at work, and find they work really well as an afternoon snack to tide me over until dinner.
