Chocolate Chip Snack Cake Recipe
  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 15 Servings
25 20 45

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add egg, then egg whites, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream, applesauce and vanilla (mixture will appear curdled). Combine the flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir into butter mixture just until blended.
  • Pour half of the batter into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half over the batter. Top with half of the chocolate chips.
  • Gently top with remaining batter; spread evenly. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar and chips. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: 15 servings.

This cake was not too great. It didn't seem to rise like a normal cake. It wasn't light in consistency. It was just fair.

I did not have all the fat free items, so I just used regular and it was a hit, very good

Made this for my family for a weekend snack. My son did not want to make a "healthy" recipe, so he made brownies. My daughter and I made this snack cake and it won over the brownies with everyone that tried it. We will make this again. Love that you have lightened it up to slim down on calories and fat!

It was good, but was "heavy"...thinking it needs to be refrigerated so it doesn't spoil?

It had great flavor, the texture of it was a little dense and spongy all at the same time. I would it again though.

Thank you for that information! I will try the yogurt as a substitute.

In response to the sour cream question. I do not use the fat-free sour cream but use non fat plain yogurt as a sub for sour cream with success in my baking.

I was really hoping someone could answer my previous question, but no one has, so I'll try again. Is it possible to use fat-free sour cream instead of the reduced-fat version? I'd like to know before I try the recipe. Thank you!

This is delicious. I make it all the time and the family loves it.

Diabetics count total carbs now, not sugar grams. Fiber can reduce the total carb count. Use a sugar substitute instead of sugar. one cup substitute equals 1 cup sugar.
