Time 1h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 (18.25-ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup pureed canned red beets
3 egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup skim milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 marshmallows
2 raisins
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat the bundt pan and the ramekin with nonstick spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cake mix, beets, egg whites, applesauce, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon enough batter into the ramekin to fill by 2/3, then scrape the rest into the bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes for the small cake and 30 minutes for the large one. Place on a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Turn the cakes out of the pans and let cool completely.
  • To assemble, cut the large cake in 1/2 crosswise and place the pieces end-to-end on the platter so they form an "S" shape. Use toothpicks to attach the small cake to 1 end to make the head. Use toothpicks to attach marshmallow "eyes" with raisin "pupils." Put the confectioners' sugar in a sieve or sifter and dust it generously over the cake.
