SKINNIER MOIST CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE

If you are not a fan of cake mixes, this recipe is NOT for you! I enjoy tinkering with the mixes to see what can be added to, subtracted from or substituted for the recommended ingredients. Today's play-time began with a box of Pillsbury Reduced-Sugar chocolate cake mix and a handful of cappuccino flavored baking chips. I am quite pleased with the results - a very moist, fragrant cake that is a little easier on my waistline than most. I'm recording my experiment here so I can do this one again.

Time 45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (18 ounce) box reduced-sugar chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup egg substitute (or use 2 eggs)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 ounces prune baby food (1 jar)
3/4 cup nonfat milk (I used soy)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon extract
1/4 cup cappuccino chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Coat bottom of 9-inch X 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Throw all the stuff in a big, deep bowl and beat the heck out it with electric mixer; medium speed for 2 minutes. (If you use the optional chips, stir them in last unless you want them pulverized.).
  • Spread the batter into prepared pan. Batter will be thick, sorta like a brownie batter.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or till top springs back when touched, tester comes out clean and cake starts to pull away from sides of pan.
  • NB - I tried something I read in an America's Test Kitchen cookbook - rotated the pan at half-time (~16 minutes). Supposedly, professional bakers do this to achieve an even rise. I do have a level-er than normal-for-me cake so I must have been baking in the dark for the past 40 years. ;-).
  • I like it best still warm, straight up without icing or any decorative frou-frou. Feel free to pimp it up if you want to.

This is not a deep dark chocolate cake, I can tell you that it is extremely moist and very good, and is great even without any frosting, you may want to cut back on the sugar if using sweetened applesauce.
