I found this recipe in light and tastey I was wondering if it could be revised. & How would I use a egg replacer besides egg whites for this? thanks emmasmom Ibs-c
Almond Fudge Cake 4 egg whites 1 cup fat-free milk 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 teaspoon almond extract 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup baking cocoa 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
RASPBERRY SAUCE: 2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 3/4 cup reduced-fat whipped topping 12 fresh raspberries
DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, milk, water, applesauce and extract until well blended. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into egg white mixture until blended (batter will be thin).
Pour into a 9-in. springform pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with chips. Place pan on a baking sheet.
Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove sides of pan. Cool completely.
For sauce, puree the raspberries in a food processor or blender; strain to remove seeds. Stir in sugar and lemon juice. Spoon sauce onto dessert plates; top with cake wedges. Garnish each with 1 tablespoon whipped topping and a raspberry.
Yield: 12 servings

You could use anyone one of the egg replacements that I gave you in that earlier post- X2. You would use twice the amount because this recipe calls for 4 egg whites. 4 egg whites = 2 eggs. The replacement I gave you was for one egg so you would need to double it. As for the whipped topping I would leave it out all together.
About the egg replacements, you might have to play around with them to find the best one for your recipe. Dont change the formula just find the one you like the best and tastes the best with the recipe. Though you shouldn't notice to much of a taste difference. Since there will be no eggs in your recipe the texture will change a little. You can add a little arrowroot powder/cornstarch with the dry ingredents to make things not so crumbly.

I finally made this last night. It is so good, moist, rich, fudgy and delish. (I think it might be my new favorite.) I made the raspberry sauce out of seedless all fruit jelly. I added 2-3 tsp of lemon juice (I just eyeballed it) and heated it up on the stove untill it mixed together. We then spooned some over the top. It was wonderful. Thanks for posting it.

I use soy milk. I'm sure almond milk would work great (They are interchangeable). It probably would be wonderful because it would taste more almond-y. I didn't use the egg replacers. Sorry. I think this cake was easy. I really, really enjoyed it. You could leave out the almond and add any number of extracts. Vanilla, peppermint, caramel, orange, lemon, coconut, really anything that tastes good with chocolate. You could also use different chips. The marshamello cream on top sounds wonderful. I'm going to try that for sure. If you use the marshamello cream I think that vanilla extract would be a good with that. I used the raspberry jelly with the lemon juice. (look back in earlier post.) But with all the leftovers we just ate it plain. Nothing on top. It was wonderful. I think I will use this for my chocolate cake recipe. I think it is really adaptable.

I would just do Heather's Peppermint Fudge Cake and use almond extract instead of the peppermint extract. If you want a straight chocolate cake, just use vanilla extract.
