Uumm, a chocolate brownie cake served with chocolate sauce and raspberry cream. From Prevention Healthy Cooking.
Prep Time:15 min
Start to Finish:1 hr 15 min
makes:12 servings
1 2/3cups Gold Medal® whole wheat flour*
1cup sugar
1/2cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1teaspoon baking powder
1/2teaspoon baking soda
1/4teaspoon salt
1 1/2cups low-fat plain yogurt
2tablespoons canola oil
1teaspoon vanilla extract
3large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4cups raspberries
2tablespoons honey
2tablespoons hot tap water
1/4cup raspberry all-fruit preserves, melted
1.Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9” x 9” baking dish with cooking spray.
2.In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of the yogurt, the oil, and vanilla.
4.Place the egg whites in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
5.Stir the yogurt mixture into flour mixture just until moistened. Fold in the egg whites until no streaks of white remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of the raspberries.
6.Bake for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on the rack to cool completely.
7.In a small bowl, mix the honey, water, and the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa. In another small bowl, mix the preserves and the remaining 1/2 cup yogurt. To serve, cut the cake into squares and top with a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup raspberries.
* 1 3/4 cups whole grain pastry flour can be used instead of the whole wheat flour.

disappointed
Cake was very dry and dense with little chocolate taste. A waste of raspberries!

The cake is a bit on the dry side, but the chocolate sauce and yogurt sauce certainly makes up for it.

Great dish! Made this for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day - it was a hit! Can get a little dry, so make sure to pull it out as soon or a little before its done. The homemade chocolate sauce is a chocolate lovers dream...
