This recipe, Marina brought home from her 2nd grade teacher ... with a request to make it into something "healthy".
Cream together, one at a time:
1 c. organic butter [or softened coconut oil]
1 3/4 c. turbinado sugar
1 tsp. organic vanilla, we use Madagascar vanilla
3 eggs separated
[Blend in yolks. In separate bowl, beat whites until they are still, then fold into completely mixed batter ... this is the last step before pouring into the pan to bake.]
1 c. filtered water
1/3 c. pureed tomatoes [do this in a blender]
Sift together:
2 1/2 c. organic cake or bread flour
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sea salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour two 8 1/2" cake pans or one 9"x13" baking pan. Mix together the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients, one at a time, and mix well. Fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into prepared pan[s]. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, in center of preheated oven.
Frost with chocolate butter frosting & top with strawberries [optional]. We left it unfrosted and it was absolutely perfect!
Grab a fork & enjoy!!!
