1 c. evaporated (not sweetened condensed) skim milk
3/4 c. cocoa powder
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Whites from 4 large eggs at room temperature

1. Heat evaporated milk in medium size saucepan until barely simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in cocoa until thickened and almost smooth (some tiny lumps will remain). Let stand 2 to 3 minutes to cool slightly. Whisk in applesauce and vanilla extract.

2. Mix flour, 1 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in large bowl. 3. Beat egg whites in a medium size glass bowl with electric mixer until thick and foamy. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted.

4. Pour cocoa mixture over flour. Stir just until blended.

5. With a rubber spatula gently stir about 1/4 egg whites into flour mixture. FOLD in remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain. Pour into prepared pan or pans. (Sprayed with Baker's Joy)
