My birthday cake and now our special occasion sweet... nonfat and low sugar! Adapted from a recipe at FatFree Vegan. Ingredients:
398 ml can sliced beets, drained |
unsweetened apple sauce |
2 tbsp. water |
2 tsp. vanilla extract |
1 tsp. white vinegar |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup white flour |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup splenda |
1 tbsp. cornstarch |
2 tsp. baking soda |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/2 tsp. ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Oil or spray two 8- or 9-inch cake pans.
2. Put the drained beets into the food processor with 1/4 cup (clear) water, and process until pureed.
3. Put the pureed beets into a 2-cup measure. Add enough apple sauce to reach the 2-cup line.
4. Add the 2 tablespoons water, vanilla extract, and vinegar to the beets and mix well.
5. Mix the dry ingredients together, add the beet mixture and stir until well-combined.
6. Bake for 35 minutes Test by inserting a toothpick into the center; it's done when the toothpick comes out clean.
