Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Coat a 13x9x2 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, dry milk powder, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, egg whites and vanilla.
  3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Don't over-mix or you may toughen the texture of the cake.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing to the edges, and bake until springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean- it should take anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes. Check at 25 and add minutes onto baking time if necessary.
  5. Cool cake to room temperature on a wire rack.
  6. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer at low speed to beat the cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth. Slowly add the nonfat milk and beat until it's a good spreading consistency, about 1 minute.
  7. Swirl frosting over top of cake. Cut into 15 squares, and serve.
