This was what Beth posted on 8-3-05:

I had a light and simple show the other day and the recipes we did can easily be used in an office setting.

We did the microwave cake in the stoneware fluted pan and a farmers market dip with veges with ALL low or no fat ingredients.

Microwave cake:
Dark Chocolate cake mix (I read that we should all have a little dark chocolate every day for our health so it must be true)
3/4 cups egg beaters
2 cups low or no fat sour cream
Combine and pour into oil sprayed fluted pan. Microwave for 13-15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, loosen edges and turn onto platter (I used the round platter and pointed out that August is our last chance to purchase it). When completely cool grate chocolate over the cake or sprinkle with cocoa powder.
(Can be made at home and then bring the stone and recipe with you so they can see what it was made in - or if they have a microwave oven...)

Farmers Market Dip with veges
Use the Spinach version (0 fat, 0 carbs and lowest sodium - 55mg)
1 cup low/no fat mayo
1 cup low/no fat sour cream
veges of choice

Even my DH who HATES that low/no fat stuff couldn't tell the difference in taste and it made the dieters happy too!

making it now!?I just made this cake or should I say that I have it in the microwave now.
But it looked quite questionable as it just looked like frosting when putting it
into the fluted pan. Is this the way the batter is supposed to look? I know I am jumping the gun asking this question but didn't want to be suprised if I ruined it.
Thanks
 
Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you found a delicious recipe for a chocolate cake. I'm sorry you can't seem to find it now, but I'll do my best to help you out. I did a quick search on our Pampered Chef recipe database and found a few different chocolate cake recipes that use egg beaters and fat free sour cream. I'm not sure which one you're looking for specifically, but here are a few options:1. Our "Decadent Chocolate Cake" recipe uses egg beaters and fat free sour cream, and it's a crowd favorite. You can find it in our "Desserts" section on the Pampered Chef website.2. Another option is our "Skinny Chocolate Cake" which is a lighter version of a classic chocolate cake, and also uses egg beaters and fat free sour cream. You can find this recipe in our "Healthy Choices" section on the website.3. If neither of those recipes are the one you're looking for, I would suggest reaching out to bethcooks4u directly to see if she can share the recipe with you. She may have posted it on her own blog or social media pages.I hope this helps, and good luck with your show! Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
