Recipe Introduction
"This tasty cake is a mass of clever substitutions. Chef Cary Neff recommends garnishing it with fresh berries instead of whipped cream—it's healthier and the taste is even fresher."
List of Ingredients
2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup raw cane sugar (Turbinado)
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sweetened applesauce or pureed dried plums
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper; spray paper. Dust bottom and side of pan with cocoa powder, tapping out excess; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flours, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another bowl, combine applesauce, egg whites, vanilla and coffee. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients and pour into prepared pan.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle of cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake and invert onto a wire rack; peel off waxed paper. Invert again onto rack to cool completely. Serve with frozen yogurt, if desired.
Recommended ingredient: Turbinado raw cane sugar is available at most grocery stores or at www.sugarintheraw.com.
