This rich chocolate recipe makes a decadent cake any chocolate lover will enjoy. Try it for dessert tonight.
Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups cake flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup margarine, softened
1 large egg, separated
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups skim milk
2 egg whites
2 cups prepared light chocolate frosting
Method
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray two 9" round cake pans with vegetable spray. On a sheet of waxed paper, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Mix well. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed beat together sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and corn syrup. At a low speed, alternately beat in mix and flour mixture until combined. In another large mixing bowl, using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into batter. Spread batter into prepared pans, smooth tops. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Place pans on wire racks, cool for 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely.
