Fat-Free Old-Fashioned Spice Cake

From The Cincinnati Enquirer, April 6, 1994

A convincing dessert that is a good recipe to try on people who say that fat-free desserts taste awful . . .

• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Pinch of ginger
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix in the ingredients, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Pour batter into 9 X 9 inch non-stick baking pan lightly coated with cooking spray and dusted with flour. Bake 30 minutes. Ice with Merinque Cream.

Fat-free serving = 1/5 of cake.
