directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat bottom of a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

For Batter: Place butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until well blended (about 5 minutes). Add egg white and egg, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add cocoa and fat-free milk. Beat well (mixture will appear curdled).

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups. Level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk. Add to cocoa mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

For Topping: Place cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add cornstarch and remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth.

Spread evenly over batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

Onion Soup Mix Saves The Day

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
