Old-Fashioned Fudge Cake Cake: Nonstick pan spray 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk 1 cup plain nonfat Greek-style yogurt 4 egg whites from large eggs 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 2/3 cup loosely packed, finely grated beets
Frosting: 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups powdered sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla 2 teaspoons nonfat milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 10-inch round cake pan with pan spray and coat it lightly with flour, knocking out the excess. For the cake: Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, yogurt, egg whites and oil until smooth. Stir in beets, then the flour mixture, just until incorporated. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until the cake is slightly domed and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Then run a knife around the edge and invert the cake directly onto the rack. Cool completely. For the frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed for 1 minute, until smooth. Sift in powdered sugar and 6 tablespoons cocoa powder and mix, starting on low and increasing to medium speed as the sugar is incorporated, until the frosting is completely smooth. Add the vanilla and milk on low speed, mixing until incorporated. Frost the top of the cake first, starting at the center and pushing the frosting out to the sides. Frost the sides. Any leftover cake may be kept, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days. Serves 16 ~*Piper*~ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Old-Fashioned-Recipes/ ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
