I can't wait to share this recipe and i urge you to try this because this cake is heavenly delicious. It's dense, ultra rich & chocolatey. Nobody knows it's a healthier version. And... the best part about the  cake is that... A SLICE ONLY CONSIST OF 164 CALORIES! Can you believe it??? This is absolute good news to those who are on diet and weight conscious people.  INDULGE WITHOUT A PINCH OF GUILT. I can't emphasise enough how amazing this cake is! Although it takes a little extra effort but it's all worth it. I am definitely going to make this again. Definitely.

Ingredients ( Adapted from EatingWell)

• 7 ounces 60-70% bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped


• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably natural


• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


• 2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided


• 1/8 teaspoon salt


• 1 cup nonfat or low-fat milk


• 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature (see Tip)


• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature


• 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Preparation

1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch cake pan (1 1/2 to 2 inches deep) with parchment paper and coat the sides of the pan with cooking spray. Put a kettle of water on to boil for Step 6.


2. Place chocolate and cocoa powder in a large bowl.


3. Combine flour, 2/3 cup sugar and salt in a small heavy saucepan. Whisk in just enough of the milk to form a smooth paste. Mix in the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent burning (especially around the sides and bottom edges of the pot), until the mixture begins to bubble. Boil gently, stirring constantly, for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes (the mixture will get very thick and then you may notice that it thins ever so slightly as the starch cooks). Scrape the hot mixture immediately over the chocolate and cocoa. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. The batter will be very thick. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla.


4. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating on high speed until the egg whites are stiff but not dry.


5. Gently fold about one-fourth of the egg whites into the chocolate batter to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain. Scrape the batter into the cake pan, smoothing the top.


6. Set the cake pan in a larger baking pan and place on the oven rack. Pour enough boiling water into the baking pan to come a third to halfway up the side of the cake pan. Bake until the surface of the cake is slightly crusted and springs back when gently pressed, 25-30minutes. (The cake will still be quite gooey inside.  I inserted a toothpick but it didnt come out clean.  )


7. Leavve your cake to cook and preferably refrigerate (strongly encourage) it for a couple of hours before cutting it. I cut mine after it has cooled slightly and the cake was in a mess! It was so crumbly.

To serve: Soak the blade of a thin knife in a cup of very hot water until warm. Slide the knife around the sides of the pan to release the cake. Place a piece of wax paper on top of the cake. Invert a plate over the wax paper and invert the pan onto the plate. Remove the pan and peel away the paper liner. Place a serving plate over the cake and turn the cake right-side up again; remove the wax paper. Dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting each slice.

Note*

- store in the refrigerator in an air tight container fir up to two days

Cheese sits at the top of my list all the time!! Who doesnt like Cheese?? Its Cheese!! However, it's so sinful. On diet and craving for  some cheesecake? I've got it sorted for you. This Low Fat "Cheesecake" Trifle is perfect for you. One cup/serving like this is lower than 200 calories and it tasted almost like a cheesecake. I've gotten this idea from Laura Vitale. But i did make some slight changes to the original recipe.



Ingredients:  ( servings: 2 )

6 pieces of biscuits ( Can use any biscuits: marie / digestive biscuits etc... I use Jacob's Weetameal biscuits)
1 tsp butter ( I simply use light butter spread)
1 can of marigold non fat yoghurt
1.5 tbsp lemon curd
Some diced strawberries ( or any fruits of your choice )

Steps:

- Crush the biscuits. Melt 1 tsp of butter and mix them together . Divide the crushed cookies between 2 trifle cups.

- Mix lemon curd and yoghurt together until smooth and place on the crushed biscuits and top with some diced strawberries.

- Refrigerate for about 1/2-1 hr before serving.

Note*: You can get ready made lemon curd from the supermarket but i couldnt find it in NTUC/ Cold Storage. You probably could try Higher end supermarkets. Hence, i made my own lemon curd. I got my lemon curd's recipe here.  Even though the non fat yoghurt is not sweet, there is no need to add sugar to the yoghurt because the sweetness will come from the lemon curd. Best serve about 1 hr after making. Not recommended to leave the next day. My biscuits turned a little soggy the next day.  You have to scoop and eat the strawberries, yoghurt and biscuits at the same time so that it'll taste like "Cheesecake".
