How to Make Luscious Low Fat Chocolate Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional), 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large egg whites, 1 cup light sour cream, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of skim milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
