(Almost) No Fat Chocolate Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 1/3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    6 large egg whites
    1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar
    1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
    1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
    Spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    Dust the pan with 1 tablespoon cocoa and tap out the excess.
    To prepare batter: In a medium bowl, sift together 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa, flour, baking power and baking soda.
    Set aside.
    In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites, brown sugar, yogurt and vanilla until blended, about 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed.
    Mix in dry ingredients by hand or on low mixer speed until just moistened.
    Do not over-mix.
    (This is not a smooth batter.).
    Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    (If the pan is of a different size, the cooking time may vary.) Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
    Then use a knife to loosen the sides of the cake from the pan.
    Remove the ring and cool completely on a rack.
    Serve the cake on the metal bottom of the pan.
    To prepare the topping: in a small bowl, combine the remaining tablespoon of cocoa with the powdered sugar.
    Place the mixture in a small fine sieve and dust the top of cake before serving.
