Answer 1

LOW - FAT CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 c. plain low-fat yogurt
1 c. cold water
1/4 c. seedless red raspberry preserves
Sifted powdered sugar

Lightly grease and flour 2 (8 x 1 1/2 inch or 9 x 1 1/2 inch) round baking pans.

Stir together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda. In a large mixer bowl beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add egg and egg white, one at a time, beating 1 minutes after each. Stir in yogurt. Add dry ingredients and cold water alternately to beaten mixture. Beat on low speed after each addition just until combined.

Pour batter into baking pans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes for 8 inch layers or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on wire racks. Then remove from pans; cool. To assemble place one layer on a serving plate; spread with preserves; top with second layers. Top with sifted powdered sugar. Makes 12 servings.

Answer 2

Generally if you remove fat from a dessert recipe, you have to put something back in to replace the fat. And most of the time, depending on what you are making - or baking - it's either pureed prunes, mashed bananas or applesauce.

If you don't have bananas or applesauce, the best low-fat dessert is making an Angel Food cake. It doesn't have any fat in it - egg whites - no yolks - no cholesterol or very very low-cholesterol. You can serve Angelfood cake with any kind of fruit and a little cool whip.

If you don't have Angel Food cake, then your next bet would be this one:

1 box chocolate cake mix (even though the box shows that you add other things like water and eggs - don't - you don't need it for this recipe)
1 small box chocolate or coconut cream Heat & Serve pudding (must be Heat & Serve - you must cook it)
1 3/4 c milk (or whatever is called for on the box - you can use nonfat milk)
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/2 c mini chocolate morsels

Place the dry cake mix in a bowl. Set aside. Place the milk and pudding mix in a pan, bring to the full boil like the box says. Once you've done what the box says, pour it immediately into the dry cake mix and stir. Pour that into a sprayed 8" square cake pan. Sprinkle the chocolate mini morsels over the cake mix and sprinkle the pecans over the chocolate. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean (some of the chocolate morsels might stick to the toothpick - don't count that as the cake not done).

The chocolate and nuts are the frosting.
