From Symply Too Good To Be True 3 by Annette Syms. Personally, I find mudcake to be too oily and heavy. But this reduced fat method has won me over. Makes a very satisfiying chocolaty dense cake. Ingredients:
125 g dark chocolate, broken into small pieces |
125 g light margarine |
1 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons instant coffee |
1 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup applesauce |
2 egg whites |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/4 cup cocoa powder |
cooking spray |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder |
1 cup icing sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons light margarine |
1 tablespoon skim milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. To make cake: Mix chocolate, margarine, sugar, coffee and water in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on MED-HI for about 2 minutes or until all ingredients are dissolved. Stir every minute.
3. Stir together applesauce and baking soda. Add to the melted chocolate along with egg whites. Mix well.
4. Sift the flour and cocoa powder, then gently fold in until combined.
5. Pour into a 19 cm pan greased with cooking spray.
6. Bake 45-50 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Ice when cool.
7. Icing: Mix all ingredients together until smooth.Spread over cake then refrigerate.
