Recipe - Lowfat Lemon Poppy Bundt Cake T

1 One half cup All purposeflour
1 One half cup Cake flour; sifted
1 One half cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
1 One half cup Unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil; *note
3 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Grated lemon rind
4 Egg whites; at room
temperature
One fourth cup Poppy seeds

Yield: 1 cake 12 portions Source: The Pyramid Cookbook, Pat Baird (pg.
181)

*note: recipe called for 3 TB of oil. If you use the glaze (see below), you
could probably leave it out. The glaze added a good amount of additional
moisture to the cake.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10cup bundt pan with nonstick
cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the flours, 1 cup of the sugar, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together the applesauce, oil, lemon juice, and lemon
rind until blended.

In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg
whites until foamy and almost double in volume. Slowly beat in the
remaining One half cup of sugar until whites form soft peaks.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the applesauce
mixture, and stir until just combined. Mixture will be quite thick. Stir
about One fourth of the egg whites into the batter, gently fold remaining egg
whites into the batter and fold in poppy seeds. Pour batter into prepared
pan; shake gently to distribute batter evenly.

Bake 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool
in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes; turn onto rack to finish cooling.

Glaze: I dribbled the cooled cake with a glaze of 3 TB fresh squeezed lemon
juice, 1 TB frozen orange juice concentrate and about One half cup of
confectioners sugar (or more enough to make a pourable glaze).
