Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat-white flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Aerated whipped cream
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
Prepare 4 standard loaf pans with oil spray.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder.
-
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple sauce, milk, sugar, egg whites, and vanilla.
-
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; fold the batter until just combined.
-
Pour evenly into the 4 prepared loaf tins (you’ll have a very small layer of batter in each).
-
Bake for approx. 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
-
Cut contents of each loaf pan into 5 pieces, the short way, creating mini chocolate cakes. Carefully remove each and place on platter or plate.
-
Squirt whipped cream (about 2 tablespoons worth) along the top of 1 chocolate mini-cake strip.
-
Gently top with another.
-
Repeat with remaining.
-
Or save and store in fridge or freezer and enjoy at another time.
