Healthy Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate Frosting

Ingredients
 
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups cake flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
3/4 cup fat-free milk
 
For Frosting
2 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 teaspoons fat-free milk
Directions
To make the cake: Place a strainer over a deep bowl. Spoon applesauce into the strainer and set aside to drain 15 minutes (you should have about 1/3 cup drained applesauce.) Discard the liquid.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13×9″ baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder.

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat peanut butter 2 minutes. Add drained applesauce and beat 2 minutes. Beat in brown sugar 3 minutes, or until creamy.
Beat in vanilla extract. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then egg white. Beat in milk.
Add flour mixture and mix on low until moistened.

Pour batter into baking dish and bake 20 -25 minutes, or until center of cake springs back when pressed. Cool completely in the dish on a rack.
 
TO MAKE FROSTING: in a large bowl, combine half of confectioners’ sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract. Beat until sugar dissolves. Add remaining sugar and 2 teaspoons of milk. Beat just until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add remaining milk.

Spread frosting on cake when cake is completely cooled.
