This cake is the ultimate because it's rich, moist, and chocolatey. No one would ever guess that this layer cake is light so bake it for a crowd and wait for the raves to roll in. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
2 cups sugar |
10 tablespoon light butter, softened |
3/4 cup egg substitute |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup low-fat sour cream |
3/4 cup boiling water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
chocolate frosting |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Coat bottoms of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray (do not coat sides of pan); line bottoms of pans with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray; set aside.
3. Beat sugar and butter at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Gradually add egg substitute; beat well. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. With mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Gently stir in boiling water and vanilla.
4. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until cake springs back when touched in center. Loosen layers from sides of pans using a narrow metal spatula; turn out onto wire racks. Peel off wax paper; let cool.
5. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1/2 cup Chocolate Frosting. Top with other cake layer; spread remaining frosting over cake.
