CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK CAKE (FAT FREE OR LOW FAT)



Chocolate Buttermilk Cake (Fat Free or Low Fat) image

Recently made this for a family dinner and it was enjoyed by all (until they found out it was healthy that is). It is moist and light yet chcocolatey enough to satisfy your cravings. The secret to this cake is the moist and fluffy "frosting." Not only does it make a nice contrast to the buttermilk cake it keeps the dish from having that dry quality characteristic of non-fat baking. For that reason, it is best to let your finished cake fully chill, overnight if possible. The tablespoon of oil is optional and makes this a low fat not fat free option. The nutritionals given for this cake without the oil are 156 calories, 1.3g fat, 1.4g fiber, and 0g cholesterol.

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.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Make sure the buttermilk and eggs are at room temperature before using.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Conclusion:

This reduced-fat buttermilk chocolate cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cake is also a good source of calcium and protein.
