This cake is so rich, you'd never guess it was lower in fat and sugar than other desserts. The smooth peanut butter layers and fudgy topping make it a hit with my family. âCrystal Christopher of Hustonville, Kentucky Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup baking cocoa |
1/3 cup sugar blend |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup fat-free milk |
1/2 cup egg substitute |
1/4 cup canola oil |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 cup boiling water |
creamy peanut filling: |
1-3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons cold fat-free milk, divided |
1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix |
3/4 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter |
topping: |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons fat-free milk |
Directions:
1. Coat two 9-in. round baking pans with cooking spray; line with waxed paper. Coat the paper with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour; set aside.
