The layer of cream cheese combined with the chocolate brownies makes them decadent. And you don't have to feel guilty eating them - they are light!! A winning recipe from Rose Reisman. Ingredients:
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons low-fat milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup low-fat sour cream |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1 large egg |
1 large egg white |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable spray.
2. Make filling: in a food processor or bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, milk and vanilla until the mixture is smooth. Set it aside.
3. Make the cake: in a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, sour cream, oil, whole egg and egg white. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa and baking powder. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, blending just until everything is mixed.
4. Pour half the cake batter into a prepared dish. Spoon the filling on top; spread it with a wet knife. Pour the remaining batter into the pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until it is just barey loose in the centre.
