LOw-Fat Chocolate LAYER cake
Serves 16.
For sweeties riding the low-fat train, create a low-fat layer cake made with egg whites, fat-free sour cream and cocoa powder (the least-fatty fraction of the cacao bean) and frosted with Seven Minute Frosting (which is fat-free until we add a little more cocoa powder). Adapted slightly from "1,001 Low-Fat Desserts," by Sue Spitler.
