Recent studies show that dark chocolate may lower blood pressure and prevent heart disease.  I used a dark Dutch processed cocoa powder in this rich, moist cake.  It contains no fat, no dairy and no eggs.  Enjoy!

Non-fat Chocolate Walnut Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of an 8 inch square baking pan.

Coat the pan with cooking spray, place the parchment in the pan and spray it also.  The parchment paper will make removal from the pan very easy.

Mix together and set aside:

1 1/2 cups flour, unbleached

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 cup evaporated cane juice (or sugar)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon egg replacer (we use Ener G)

Mix together:

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup non-dairy milk (soy, coconut, rice, etc)

1/2 cup cold coffee

1 teaspoon vanilla

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir with a spoon until well mixed. 

Pour into prepared pan.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts over the batter.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.
