Fudgy Peanut Butter Swirl Cake image

A plain white cake from a mix can be boring. This cake is anything but boring! The richness of peanut butter combined with fudgy chocolate and topped off with chocolate sauce is divine. The espresso adds to the richness of the chocolate flavour and the applesauce creates a moist cake without extra added fat.

Time 40m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) package reduced-fat white cake mix or 1 (18 ounce) package reduced-sugar white cake mix
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 egg white
1/2 cup applesauce
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate syrup
1/4 cup cocoa
1 egg white
6 tablespoons applesauce
1/2 cup espresso or 1/2 cup very strong brewed coffee, cooled
sugar-free chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Double check to make sure the cake mix you have chosen makes one 9"x13" cake. Separate the cake mix into 2 equal halves by weight in two separate bowls, using a food scale.
  • Peanut Butter Batter: To one bowl containing one half of the cake mix, add the peanut butter, egg white, applesauce and milk. Stir until well mixed.
  • Chocolate Batter: To the other bowl containing the other half of the cake mix, add the chocolate syrup, cocoa, egg white, applesauce and espresso or very strong coffee. Stir until well mixed.
  • Spray a 9"x13"baking pan with cooking spray. Pour peanut butter batter into pan by pouring 8 "blobs" of batter in a checker like pattern. Add the chocolate batter by pouring sections of batter in each spot on the pan that doesn't not have peanut butter batter. Using a bread knife swirl your knife through the batter to create a swirled effect.
