Preheat oven to 350 F (180C). Combine fructose and egg substitute; beat
until light and fluffy. Add margarine, lemon juice, lemon zest, almond
extract, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Place 3/4 of the dough mixture
on a floured board. Form into a rectangle about 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick.
Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining dough and spread over rectangle. Fold
both sides of dough into the middle to make a long, flattened log. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove from oven and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/2 inch (1.5 cm)
slices. Preheat broiler. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet and
broil for a few moments on each side (be careful; these burn easily). Cool
on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

"Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress."
