It's starting to get warmer. We all know what this means...swim suit
season! Eek!!! Are you ready? I'm working really hard to make sure
that I'm ready. Haha
I've
been going to the gym a lot recently. I want to look even better in
that bikini than I did last year. To help this, I have been trying
really hard to eat really healthy. My problem is that I LOVE
chocolate. I was craving chocolate cake the other night but didn't
want to make anything too big. My husband doesn't eat sweets (Its
one of our mysteries in our marriage) and I'm not about to eat a
cake by myself. To make matters worse, I just got home from the gym
and didn't want to undo what I just did.
So
how did I solve my problem? I made a low fat flourless chocolate
cake. The only fat is found in the cocoa powder and yogurt. The
serving size is small but the flavor is rich! Most of us already
have these ingredients in our fridge already. This recipe doesn't
use anything fancy or weird.
I
have pictures where I topped the cake off with powdered sugar or
caramel. Either one is fine or just eat the cake out of the ramekin.
No matter what, enjoy dessert and then go back to the gym later!
Enjoy
and best of luck getting ready for the season. I'm working hard
right alongside you!
Ingredients:
¼
cup granulated sugar
2
tablespoons of cocoa
¼
teaspoon salt
¼
teaspoon baking soda
1
egg white slightly beaten
6
oz vanilla yogurt
½
teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray 2 small ramekins (I used 3 inch by 1 ½ inch ramekins from the company Williams and Sonoma) with cooking spray.
- Whisk the cocoa, sugar, salt, and baking soda together.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients.
- Pour equal amounts into each ramekin.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the center is done. The center of the cake should be slightly jiggly—like a cheesecake.
- Cool for a few minutes. Top with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or some caramel sauce.
- Enjoy!
