Time 55m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 egg whites
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup light butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons buttermilk
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • To make the cake, preheat oven to 350°F Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda. Set aside. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on the highest speed, beat the egg whites for 90 seconds. Add applesauce, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add half of the flour mixture and beat on a low setting until just mixed. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat on high for 2 minutes. Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the sides of the cake begin to pull away from the pan. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, beat the butter in a small bowl until smooth and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar; beat on low until smooth.
  • Add 1 tablespoon each of buttermilk and cocoa powder; beat until smooth. Add half of the remaining sugar, buttermilk and cocoa powder; beat well. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Spread over cooled cake. Scatter nuts evenly on top of the frosting. Slice and serve.
