Reduced Fat and Cholesterol Red Velvet Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 cup sugar (or a sugar substitute)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (low-fat)
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the apple sauce, sugar, buttermilk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, frost the cake with a light cream cheese or whipped topping to keep the cake moist and flavorful.
