Comment préparer Reduced Fat Buttermilk Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda.
Set aside the dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat 4 large egg whites for 90 seconds until stiff peaks form.
Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the egg whites. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges of the cake begin to pull away from the pan.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
**Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar, beating on low speed until smooth.
Add 1 tablespoon buttermilk and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder; beat until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Spread frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Sprinkle with your favorite chopped nuts (optional).
Slice and serve!
