Chocolate Oat Bran Cake
Don't let the thought of oat bran stop you from trying this cake. It is delicious, and most people never guess it is diabetic or contains oat bran.

1 c oat bran cereal
1 c water
1 large egg
1/3 c vegetable oil
dry sugar substitute equal to 1/3 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp chocolate flavoring (optional)
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 c all-purpose flour
1/3 c sugar
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp instant dry milk
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Place cereal, water, egg, oil, dry sugar substitute, flavorings, and vinegar in a mixer bowl. Mix lightly and let stand for 30 to 45 minutes. (This timing is very important.) Stir flour, sugar, cocoa, dry milk, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together to blend well. Add to cereal mixture and mix at medium speed about 1 minute, or until well blended. Spread batter evenly in a 9-inch square cake pan that has been sprayed with pan spray or greased with margarine. Bake at 350*F for about 35 minutes, or until cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and a cake tester comes out clean from the center. Cool on a wire rack. Cut four by four. Makes 16 Servings.
