Ingredients

4 egg whites
1 cup fat-free milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon almond extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

12 fresh raspberries

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, milk, water, applesauce and extract until well blended. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into egg white mixture until blended (batter will be thin).
Pour into a 9-in. springform pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with chips. Place pan on a baking sheet.

I enjoyed this cake, but my children didn't care for it because of the almond flavor. I think if I put vanilla or chocolate extract, they would've loved it. I really enjoyed it, especially because it was low in calories, but I really like almond. So next time I'm going to make it with vanilla or chocolate extract for my children :) Everyone else that ate it just loved it. I did use a regular 9" cake pan instead of the spring form and it worked without any problems.

I've made this before and enjoyed it. Tonight when I made it, i inadvertantly ended up letting the egg whites warm to room temp and the cake was even fluffier than when I've made it in the past. Also, if you want to save some time on the raspberry sauce and don't mind seeds, you can blend the raspberries, lemon juice and sugar all together.

This is a chocoholic's dream. It tastes so rich and decadent and makes a beautiful presentation with the raspberry sauce.
