Great idea for a low cal Valentine’s dessert:
Dark Chocolate Mocha Cake with Raspberries (serving size 1/12 recipe 50g)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp. Maxwell House Instant Coffee Original Roast
• 1/2 cup water
• 3 oz. Baker's Premium 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate , chopped
• 2 whole egg s, separated
• 3 egg white s
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp. Magic Baking Powder
• 1 tsp. icing sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Cook granulated sugar, coffee and water in saucepan on medium-low heat 2 to 3 min. or until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. (Do not boil.) Remove pan from heat. Add dark chocolate; stir until melted. Whisk 2 egg yolks and vanilla in medium bowl until blended; gradually stir in dark chocolate mixture.
• Beat 5 egg whites with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Combine cocoa powder, flour and baking powder; stir into dark chocolate mixture until blended. Stir small amount of egg whites into chocolate mixture, then gently fold remaining egg whites into chocolate mixture just until blended. Transfer to 9-inch springform pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray; spread gently to form even layer.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until top springs back when touched lightly in centre. Cool 10 min. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; remove rim. Cool cake completely. (Top of cake will sink slightly as it cools.)
• Sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving; top with raspberries.
