Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

I got off early from work today so I decided to surprise the kids with an after school snack!! I am trying to get them to eat a bit healthier so I chose this recipe. I like the use of the applesauce and sour cream. It has a bit of a chewy texture. It is not as sweet as a normal cake.  The kids loved it and didn't even notice the wheat flour. YAY!!!

Chocolate Chip Snack Cake
adapted from Taste of Home
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 cup sour cream (I used light)
2/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Topping:
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used just a few more.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan.
Cream butter and sugars together. Add egg then egg whites and beat for about 3 minutes. Beat in sour cream, applesauce and vanilla. Slowly add the flours, baking powder, salt and baking soda until it is all blended well. Pour half the batter into the pan.

In a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon together.

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture and chocolate chips on top.

Then carefully pour the rest of the batter over top. Spread evenly.

Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean.

I had to use the toothpick because it did not look done, but was.

It was a nice change!
