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.

I haven't made this but I will. Just wanted to respond to the last post with regard to the calories in the carbs. There are actually 4 calories per gram of carbs, not 9 so you have seriously overstated the calories there. The 9 calories per gram applies to fats. Hope that helps some who may have been misled.

The sugar is in the carbohydrates. 36 carb gramsx9 calories=144 calories from sugars

The fats are 44 calories, plus the cholesterol. I don't understand your parameters for "light".

I only have fat-free sour cream. Can I substitute that for the reduced-fat version?

Just curious - In the nutritional facts, where is the sugar value?
