Devil's Food Cake With Fluffy White Frosting
12 servings (Makes one 10-inch cake)
When baking expert Nick Malgieri was recently in town for a session at L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda, this cake drew special praise for its moist interior and beautiful presentation. Without the frosting, it's a mere 219 calories per slice.
You can make it ahead and freeze it, unfrosted, for 1 month. Adapted from "Perfect Light Desserts," by Nick Malgieri and David Joachim (William Morrow, 2006).
For the cake:
Fine dried bread crumbs
1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large egg whites
