HEALTHIER CHOCOLATE BOX CAKE
This is a healthier version than the conventional. Be sure to use the "lighter" ingredients as listed to ensure that it is healthier. HINT: The frosting firms up as it rests. If it becomes too firm to spread, gently warm it in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds, or until softened. This cake actually tastes better when made a few hours before serving. As soon as the cake is frosted, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Steps:
- TO MAKE THE CAKE: Preheat the oven to 350^F. Lightly coat a 13"x9" baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat the egg whites for 1 minute, or until foamy. Beat in the buttermilk and applesauce. Add the cake mix and beat for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Scrape into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan. Cool completely in the pan on a rack.
- TO MAKE THE FROSTING: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and cocoa, stirring to remove lumps. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in the cocoa mixture, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until very smooth. Spread over the cooled cake, swirling it for a decorative appearance.
