Remember Aunt Booji's Chocolate Box Cake??? - cjs - 04-08-2010 I think I posted this recipe a long time ago. I made it today into some smaller cakes to take to my Aunt this month. But, this time I 'frosted' it with a Chocolate Espresso Sauce. Oh my, what a wonderful flavor. Don't bother looking at this recipe if you're a purist and would not dream of using a cake mix...who cares, it's really good. It's a recipe that was part of a series years ago in the newspaper where this gal gave 7 days worth of menus and her dishes were really tasty. * Exported from MasterCook * AUNT BOOJIE'S CHOCOLATE BOX CAKE - 7-DAY 5 lg egg white 1 1/3 cup buttermilk 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce 18 1/4 oz. pkg. Chocolate cake mix* -------- *Use Pillsbury Moist Deluxe Dark Chocolate Fudge Mix. (Roy couldn't find this one anymore, so we went with Pillsbury Moist Deluxe Chocolate cake mix) Heat oven to 350 F. Coat a 9X13" baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites on high with an electric mixer for 1 min., or till foamy. Add the buttermilk, applesauce and mix on med. for 1 min., or till combined. Add the cake mix & beat 2 min. Scrape into baking dish. Bake 30-35 min., or till pick comes out cleans and cake is pulling away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan; then spread with chocolate frosting. (This is very good even with no frosting) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I usually didn't put frosting on it, but this time I spooned some of this on it - we just took a slice to taste....geez, it's so good!
