Kathy's Chocolate Party Cake
Ingredients
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso or 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Baking spray with flour
1 (8-ounce) carton frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
2 cups sliced strawberries
PreparationPreheat oven to 350°. Combine water and espresso in a bowl. Lightly
spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next
5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl. Combine espresso mixture,
buttermilk, egg substitute, oil, and vanilla; add to sugar mixture, beating at
medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (batter will be thin). Pour batter
into 2 (9-inch) round cake pans coated with baking spray. Bake at 350° for 45
minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool layers
in pans 10 minutes, and remove from pans. Cool layers completely on wire racks.
Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1 cup whipped topping, and top with
other cake layer. Spread remaining whipped topping over top of cake. Arrange
strawberries on top of cake. Store cake loosely covered in refrigerator.
