Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large egg whites
- 0.75 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 0.25 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups low-fat whipped topping or whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Add the low-fat buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the sugar and egg white mixture. Mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the low-fat whipped topping or whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your low fat classic vanilla cake!
