Mocha Brownie Torte
Cooking spray
2/3 cup hot water
2 tbsp instant coffee granules
1 (20.5 oz) box low-fat brownie mix (such as Sweet Rewards)
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg whites, lightly beaten
Coffee Whipped Frosting
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine hot water and coffee granules; stir well.
Add brownie mix, vanilla, and egg whites; stir until well blended. Pour mixture
evenly into 2 (9") cake pans coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool in pans 5
minutes on a wire rack. Spray wire racks with cooking spray. Loosen brownie
layers from sides of pans, using a narrow metal spatula, and turn out onto
greased wire racks. Let cool completely.
Spread Coffee Whipped Frosting between layers and over top
and sides of torte.
Serve immediately or store, loosely covered, in refrigerator.
