Lowfat Chocolate Cake Recipe
- 3 tbsp. butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk, non-fat
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 cup flour, unbleached, sifted
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. With an electric mixer cream the margarine and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in the egg. Stir in the buttermilk. Set the bowl aside. In a large bowl, combine the cocoa, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour, and mix together well. Add the creamed margarine-buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients in one batch. Stir until the dry ingredients are thoroughly moistened. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out dry. Remove from the pan and let cool on a rack.
