How to Make Extreme Low Fat Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan (see recipe #78579 for greasing instructions).
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with 4 large egg whites and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  5. Stir in 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 30 minutes; oven temperatures vary.
