Dieters Chocolate Cake Recipe
|
|
You will need the following ingredients to prepare:
1 & 1/3 cup of all purpose flour
2/3 cup of granulated sugar or Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup of dark cocoa powder
1 egg beaten with 2/3 cup of skim milk
1/4 cup of melted reduced fat margarine
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 teaspoons of imitation vanilla or vanilla extract
Combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet in another. Then add the dry to the wet. Beat with a mixer until thoroughly combined - about a minute or so.
Pour the batter into your choice of baking ware, treating it first with cooking spray. Bake for about half an hour at 350 degrees.
To create a cherry tort version of this recipe, bake in a round pan then cool to room temperature when the cake is done.
Slice the layer in half; add cherry pie filling that is of the sugar-reduced variety and then add a layer of reduced fat whipped topping. Replace the top layer and dust with powdered sugar using a paper doily to create a pretty design.
If you don't like cherry - what about strawberry or pineapple? Just use the fresh berries or canned where pineapple is concerned.
Mix the fruit with a bit of granulated sugar or Splenda, then mix with a small container of thawed light whipped topping before using as a filling for your chocolate tort.
For a German chocolate version of the cake, use German sweet cooking chocolate - about 4 ounces, melted before adding to the recipe. Use buttermilk (low fat) or sour milk (add 1 teaspoon of distilled white vinegar to skim milk to sour). Use two eggs instead of one. Also add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the recipe ingredients.
