ONE-BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE

Easy Bake Chocolate Cake is dark, moist, rich—and no Soul Food Home is without one. I do not cheat with boxed cake mixes that often contain Trans fats. My simple recipe gives you a Soul Soothing cake

with heart healthy canola oil and whole-wheat flour. Vegetarian

Servings: 12

WHAT YOU NEED

· 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour

· 1/2 cup granulated sugar

· 1/3 cup unsweetened cacoa powder

· 1 teaspoon baking powder

· 1 teaspoon baking soda

· 1/4 teaspoon salt

· 1/2 cup rice milk

· 2 Tbls Truvia sugar

· 1 large egg white lightly beaten

· 2 tablespoons canola oil

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· 1/2 cup hot strong black coffee

· Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

PREPARATION

Active: 25 minutes/Ready In: 1 hour 5 minutes

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a circle of wax paper.

2. Whisk flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add rice milk, Truvia sugar, egg white, oil and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add hot coffee and beat to blend. (The batter will be quite thin.) Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

3. Bake the cake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pan, peel off the wax paper and let cool completely. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar before slicing.
