Angel Cake

Chocolate Lady Finger Cake

Serving Size: 9

Ingredients

Preparation Time: 0:20
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups skim milk
2 squares semisweet chocolate (1-ounce) coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons stick margarine
1 1/2 cups frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
23 ladyfingers
1/4 cup Grand Marnier or other orange flavored liquer
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Orange slices (optional)

Preparation

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large saucepan. Gradually add skim milk, stirring with a
wire whisk until blended. Add the chopped chocolate; bring to a boil over medium heat, and
cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the margarine, and cook for 1 minute, stirring
constantly.

Remove from heat. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl for 10 minutes or until the
chocolate mixture cools to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Remove pan from ice. Spoon 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into a small bowl, and gently fold in
whipped topping. Cover and chill chocolate-whipped topping mixture. Set aside the remaining chocolate mixture.

Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with heavy-duty plastic wrap, allowing wrap to extend over edge
of pan. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Arrange 9 ladyfinger halves lengthwise in 3
rows, rounded side down, in a single layer in bottom of pan. Brush 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier over ladyfingers in pan.

Spread about 1/2 cup chocolate mixture over the ladyfinger layer. Repeat procedure 3
more times with the remaining ladyfingers, Grand Marnier, and chocolate mixture, ending
with ladyfingers (1 lady finger half will be left over).

Cover; chill for at least 8 hours.

Uncover and invert the pan onto a serving platter; remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle with
powdered sugar.

Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 1 slice of cake and 3 tablespoons topping).

Notes: Dutch process cocoa has less acidity than regular cocoa, and it gives the pudding
mixture a smoother chocolate flavor. Serve cake with chocolate-whipped topping mixture.
Serving Ideas: Garnish each serving with an orange slice, if desired.
