This is reduced calorie recipe of a really great fall cake. There is a vegan version if you're interested, send me an e-mail! I've tried it gluten-free as well and it has worked quite nicely by replacing the flour with 1 c sorghum flour, 1/2 c buckwheat flour, 1/4 c tapioca or potato starch and 1 tsp xanthan gum.
- 2 cups unbleached flour
- 1 3/4 cup brown sugar,
- packed4 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt3
- /4 cup reduced fat margarine, softened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 6 whole egg whites, slightly beaten
- 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced
Topping:
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/4 cup reduced fat margarine, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons skim milk
Preheat oven at 350F. Prepare a 12 cup fluted pan with cooking spray and flour; set aside. To prepare batter, combine flour, 1 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup margarine, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, egg whites and apples. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Cool upright for 30 minutes; invert onto serving plate. Meanwhile, to prepare topping, combine powdered sugar, remaining margarine, brown sugar, remaining vanilla extract and milk. Immediately spoon over cooled cake.
