Hello and Happy Sunday to you!
Today is a very special day!! There is a birthday in the house!!! Guess who turns two today? #SundaySupper! Yuppers, #SundaySupper is two years old and we are having a virtual birthday party. So grab your party hat, streamers and get a big cup of coffee or maybe some champagne, after all it is a celebration and sit back, relax because I have cake for you!!
After all I couldn’t be at a party without cake and in my eyes you can never have enough cake. So let me share with you my Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes with Raspberry Sauce. This is such a rich, dark chocolate cake that is will satisfy any chocolate craving you may have without all of the calories. To accompany my cake I made a very simple raspberry sauce. I love chocolate and raspberries together. It’s such a nice combination that really compliments each other. Matter in fact my wedding cake was a chocolate cake with raspberries and a vanilla buttercream frosting. It was one of the best cakes I have ever had and that flavor combination is what inspired me to make today’s cake.
I decided on a bunt cake instead of a traditional cake because I got a few bundt pans for Christmas. My Mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told her just a bundt cake pan. Well she sent me three! She sent me one that is a 3 cup and two 12 cup size cake pans. Well my batter doesn’t make enough for a 12 cup cake, so I made two 3 cup cakes, which is perfect because #SundaySupper turned two today!
I did lighten up the traditional bundt cake recipe, since most cakes are up over 200 calories, if not more. My cake comes in at 157 calories. I don’t think that is to bad for cake. I made it using Truvia to cut down on the sugar and greek yogurt in place of butter, but to keep it moist I used butter flavored olive oil. It turned out wonderful and I feel no guilt in eating it!!
The only thing off about my cake is the size. Not that it tasted any different or didn’t look pretty, it was just odd to cut, since it was so small. After looking at these pictures, I bet this cake would have been great cut in half and then adding the raspberry sauce in the middle and topping it with whip cream. Funny, that you come up with these ideas after the pictures have been taken and the cake has been eaten. Well, I’ll do that next time. Oh and speaking of size, this recipe makes a 6 cup size cake.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Truvia Baking Blend or 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp.baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. olive oil (I used Star Butter Flavored EVOO) or Canola Oil
- ¼ cup greek yogurt, plain
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ cup egg substitute or 1 large egg
- ¾ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tsp. instant espresso granules
- 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
- Raspberry Sauce
- 2¼ cup raspberries, frozen
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- ¼ tsp. stevia or sugar to taste
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 6 cup or two 3 cups bundt pans with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; stir well with a whisk. Add oil, greek yogurt, egg whites, and egg substitute. Beat at low speed 1 minute. Slowly add the coconut milk, espresso granules, and vanilla; beat 1 minute.
- Pour batter prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 17 -23 minutes for 3 cup bundt pan and 25 to 35 minutes for 6 cup bundt pan, until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Trim off any access, cake so the bundt cake site flat.
- To make raspberry sauce: In a large skillet add frozen raspberries and stevia. Over medium - low heat, cook the raspberries until they break down and are no longer frozen, about 5 minutes Add the cornstarch and stir until thicken about 3 minutes more.
- Pour the sauce into a bowl or jar and let it cool to room temperature. Serve about two tablespoons of sauce with the cake. Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
- Note: I recommend tasting the raspberry sauce to make sure it is sweet enough for you. My bag of raspberries were tart, but the one I bought a couple of months ago were sweeter.
I just want to say Happy Birthday #SundaySupper! I am very happy and proud to be apart of this group!
