50cal GF CHOCOLATE CAKE
Emma's Goodies (Emma Fontanella, professional pastry chef) just uploaded a video for chocolate cake that has only fifty calories per slice sans icing!! and roughly 90 calories with icing!!
It is also gluten-free, but not vegan
Ingredients (cake) :
80g (ā cup) skim milk
180g (6.5oz) unsweetened plain yoghurt
60g (½ cup + 1tbsp) instant oats, two sachets if you're using Quakers Oats
100g (½ cup) sugar substitute/ sweetener - she used Truvia, bear in mind the sweetness of your sweetener and adjust for taste
1 room temp. egg
50g (ā cup + 1tbsp) cocoa powder
¾ tsp baking powder
optional - vanilla extract, approx. 6 extra calories depending on brand and amount
Ingredients (skinny icing) :
70g (2.5oz) melted chocolate
45g (3 tbsp) milk
20g (1 tbsp) yoghurt
sweetener, to taste
IF YOU ADD THE ICING, IT WILL BE ROUGHLY 90 CALORIES PER SLICE INSTEAD OF 50 CALS
Directions:
Preheat oven to 160C/ 320F
Mix yoghurt and milk (and vanilla, if using) together and microwave for approx. 45 seconds
Whisk in the cocoa powder till combined
Mix in the sweetener till adequately dissolved, followed by the egg
Grind oats and baking powder in a food processor to form a fine flour and add to wet mix
WORK FAST, mixing the dry and wet ingredients till combined, and then putting it into a lined cake pan
Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out slightly fudgy
Leave it to cool for ten minutes, before removing
the top of the cake will look like a brownie at this stage, but still be springy and soft
For Icing:
Combine all icing ingredients, it will be quite a thin mixture
Refrigerate for approx. 10 minutes to firm it up and then spread it over the cake
bon appetit!
