How to Make Oops There It Is Chocolate Cake Low Fat

  3. Add the applesauce, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. Once cooled, frost with your favorite low-fat frosting (recipe suggestions available on Looney Spoons website!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
