1 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 C water
1/2 C fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/4 C unsweetened applesauce
1 egg white
1/2 tsp. instant coffee, dissolved in 2 Tbsp. hot water
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 C + 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
2 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 C confectioners' sugar
2-3 drops red food coloring (optional)

1. HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Line 8 cups of a standard muffin tin or spray with oil.
2. MIX flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in bowl with fork.
3. COMBINE water, yogurt, oil, applesauce, egg white, coffee, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until combined and smooth. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
