1/4 cup coca
1/2 teaspoon bicarb soda
2 egg whites
3/4 cup Castor sugar
4 level tablespoons low fat margarine (but I used butter and it was fine)
3/4 cup boiled water or 200 mL
Icing:
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 level tablespoon cocoa
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Straight off the bat I will tell you this is a microwave recipe you can do it in the oven in my opinion I like the oven more when it comes out of the oven it looks dry but when you eat it it is actually quite moist, but the microwave is still very yummy . the recipe for the microwave calls for a doughnut ring, if you care more about taste than look you can the problem is the center rises more so there is a bit of a bulge in the middle.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, completely dissolve sugar and margarine in boiled water. Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa into bowl. Using an electric beater, beat together for one minute, then add egg whites and beat for 30 seconds more.
Use a microwave round ring dish (6 cup) or a microwave dish that has a separate centre piece. Coat the dish with cooking spray, then line dish with greaseproof paper to fit well. Spray the top of paper with cooking spray. Pour cake mix into dish and place in centre of microwave (650 watt) on HIGH for 6 minutes. Leave in microwave for 2 minutes then remove, turn our on cake rack, peel off paper, and cool.
For the icing: Once cake has cooled, place all icing ingredients into a small mixing bowl and combine well. Spread icing evenly over the top.
To make in a conventional oven, follow recipe, but instead of using a microwave dish, use a ringed metal cake tin coated with cooking spray. Bake in a fan forced oven 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 30 minutes.
