Did you know that chocolate can actually be good for you in moderation? Antioxidants found primarily in dark chocolate boost our immune systems, while heart healthy flavinols have a blood thinning effect similar to aspirin. A heart healthy chocolate cake sounds too good to be true, but it is much easier than you think! Substituting regular baking chocolate with cocoa powder, the omission of egg yolks, and the use of skim milk cuts fat and calories, leaving you with a guilt free chocolate treat! A recipe for low fat chocolate cake contains approximately 180 calories per serving, compared to 380 calories for a regular chocolate cake recipe. That is less than half the calories, which is definitely something to celebrate about!
For a low fat chocolate frosting: combine egg whites, cream of tartar, sugar, and powdered milk to create a light and fluffy meringue frosting. Add a few teaspoons of cocoa powder to make it chocolate. Honey can be substituted for the sugar if desired. There are also many recipes available through online cooking and baking blogs for a flourless chocolate cake, which can save quite a few calories for those who are watching their waistlines and overall heart health. Bon A petit!
