Anne's Low-Sugar Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup boiling water
- 2 ½ cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup margarine
- ½ cup granular sucrolose sweetener
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold water
- 3 egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅓ cup white sugar
Directions
step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Stir the boiling water into the cocoa powder, and set aside to cool. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
step 2: In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine and the granular sucrolose until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, the cold water, and the cooled cocoa mixture.
step 3: In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the cream of tartar and sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
step 4: Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
