Egg White Recipe of the Day

This weekend is a long weekend for most. Monday is the day Memorial Day is observed and many of us are gearing up for barbecues with family and friends. Planning the menu is easy, it's the dessert part that's hard. With so many options out there, I ask myself what is unique and a bit lower in fat than the traditional ice cream and pie? How does a peanut butter swirl cake sound? Rich? Well, this recipe provides a new 'swirl' on an old recipe - using lower fat ingredients, but still rising up to the the occasion of a 'rich' cake. Enjoy!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup reduced-calorie stick margarine, softened

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour. Set aside.

Cream margarine. Gradually add sugar; beat at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended.
