Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.3333333333333333 cup Water
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, water, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
In a separate clean bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3–4 minutes.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter. Use a spatula and fold until the egg whites are just incorporated—be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the treat cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy this decadent, fat-free chocolate treat!
