- 2¼ cups oat flour ((see notes below)¼)
- 1½ cups nonfat dry milk powder
- ⅔ cup granulated white sugar ((see Notes below for baking with a sugar replacement))
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- One 23-ounce jar unsweetened applesauce ((a little over 2¾ cups))
- 5 large egg whites, (lightly beaten)
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, (at room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar, (sift after measuring)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons nonfat milk
Langkah-langkah
Preheat the oven to 325° F. Coat a 13x9x2 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, dry milk powder, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg whites and vanilla.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Don't over-mix or you may toughen the texture of the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing to the edges, and bake until springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean- it should take anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes. Check at 25 and add minutes onto baking time if necessary.
Cool cake to room temperature on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer at low speed to beat the cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly add the nonfat milk and beat until it's a good spreading consistency, about 1 minute.
Swirl frosting over top of cake. Cut into 15 squares, and serve.
