By pavaldez

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 6 tablespoons reduced-fat stick margarine
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1 package (8 oz.) reduced-fat cream cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Separate two eggs, putting each white in a separate bowl (discard yolks or save for another use); set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat margarine and 3/4 cup sugar until crumbly. Add the whole egg, one egg white and vanilla; mix well.

2. Combine flour and cocoa; add to egg mixture and beat until blended. Pour into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray; set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Beat in the second egg white. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through batter with a knife to swirl. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until set and edges pull away from sides of pan. Cool on a wire rack.
