This cake might seem like the devil’s work, but the ingredients are angelically light! Indulge yourself with this not-so-naughty chocolate cake!
Serves 8-10
1 cup whole wheat flour, plus flour for dusting pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 cup low-fat 1% buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla
non-fat cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350° F. Coat a 9-inch cake or spring-form pan with non-stick spray. Dust with flour; shake off excess. Over a large mixing bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. Whisk in brown sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, coffee, and vanilla.
Pour into pan. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or completely cool before icing with chocolate sour cream icing
Serve with Chocolate Sour Cream Icing, Chicken Paprikash or Pickled Cucumber Salad.
