Add 4 large room temperature eggs, one at a time, pulsing after each addition.

Add:
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

Process until well blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 50 minutes (until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean). Remove cake from oven and let cool on a rack 15 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fruit or whipped topping.

I am Diabetic, and I wonder if Spenda Brown Sugar would work in this receipe.... Since I love chocolate I am off to find out!

Speaking of chocolate I bought a chocolately brownie for dessert and had a chocolate croissant for a snack but that's all for the week I suppose to be dieting!!

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups white sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 3 egg whites
• 6 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

Directions

1. Combine 1 1/3 cups sugar, flour, and cocoa in a deep saucepan. Beat egg yolks with milk. Slowly add to sugar mixture. Cook on medium heat until thick while stirring with a flat bottomed wooden spoon. Remove mixture from heat, and stir in the butter or margarine until melted. Pour filling into baked pie crust.
2. To Make Meringue Topping: Whip egg whites in a glass bowl. Add remaining sugar one tablespoon at a time (you may not need all of the sugar) until peaks form. You may need to add cream of tartar to help add stiffness. Spread the meringue over the chocolate filling.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F until the peaks of the meringue are browned.

I tried this receipe with regular brown sugar, and my Kasey and I loved it! My daughter not so much...it has a dark chocolate kind of taste, and she is more a milk chocolate kind of girl.

I made a fresh cherry sauce to go with it...Yumbolicious!
