Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with margarine.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar at medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the liquid egg substitute, liquid sugar substitute (equal to 1/3 cup sugar), and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat at medium speed for 30 seconds.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cake flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 cup of instant dry milk, and 1/3 cup of cocoa powder until well blended.
  5. Add 1 cup of room temperature water to the wet mixture. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients.
  6. Mix at medium speed just until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9-inch square pan.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges of the cake pull away slightly from the sides of the pan.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely.
