How to Make Almost No Fat Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Dust the pan with 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder; tap out the excess.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Set aside the dry ingredients.
  6. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 3 large egg whites, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined (about 1-2 minutes on medium speed).
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just moistened. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  10. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
  11. Remove the springform ring and cool the cake completely on a wire rack.
  12. Serve the cake on the metal bottom of the pan.
  13. For the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
  14. Sift the cocoa-sugar mixture over the top of the cake before serving.
