Chocolate Spa Cake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips - (6 oz)
3 tbsp low-fat (1%) milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups chilled coffee

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips in the milk over low heat; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the chocolate mixture; mix until thoroughly combined. Add the whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, the baking soda, and coffee; continue beating until well combined.

Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares and serve.

This recipe yields 24 servings. Serving size: 1 square.

Comments: Can the words "chocolate" and "spa" be used in the same sentence? Of course, they can! And topping each serving with a spoonful of light whipped topping or low-fat yogurt and some fresh strawberries, raspberries, or kiwifruit slices can be, well, the icing on the cake!

"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’."

~ John Thorne, American food writer
