Treat Yourself to a Devil's Food Cake Snack
Since it is 6-06-06 today, we thought we'd check out how many calories are in devil's food cake.
The second link that came up in a search on Google was for Dolly Madison. To our surprise, a Devil's Food Cake Zinger with white icing has just 150 calories, with 45 coming from fat. Though we would not suggest eating one these every day, it is low enough in calories to pass a relatively guilt free snack.
If you want to bake a treat for your entire family, here is low fat recipe for devil's food cake that we found in About.com's Home Cooking section:
Ingredients:
Vegetable oil spray
2 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for dusting pan
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup fat-free or low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup strong coffee
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9x2-inch pan with vegetable oil spray. Dust with flour; shake off excess. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda. Whisk in applesauce, buttermilk and vegetable oil.
In a small saucepan, bring coffee to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir gently into batter. Mixture will be soupy. Pour into pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or let cool completely.
Yield: 20 servings
Seven-minute frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar can dress up the top.
