Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup skim milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar substitute (baking blend)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat pastry flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, pure vanilla extract, and granulated sugar substitute until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 8 servings and enjoy your low-fat, low-calorie Dutch chocolate cake.
