Granulated sugar allows the pure chocolate flavor to shine through in this easy-to-make cake. Buttermilk gives it a moist texture, while Dutch process cocoa imbues the cake with a deep chocolate taste. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup dutch process cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar |
2 large eggs |
2/3 cup fat-free buttermilk |
1/2 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray; dust with 2 teaspoons flour. Lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
3. Place butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla; beat well. Add granulated sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat at medium-high speed 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Beating at low speed, add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat just until smooth.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 32 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sift powdered sugar over top of cake, if desired.
