Preheat oven to 350~ F (180~C). Combine fructose and egg substitute;
beat until light and fluffy. Add margarine, lemon juice, lemon zest,
almond extract, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Place 3/4 of the dough
mixture on a floured board. Form into a rectangle about 3/4 inch (2 cm)
thick.
Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining dough and spread over rectangle. Fold
both sides of dough into the middle to make a long, flattened log. Place on
ungreased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until lightly browned.
Remove from oven and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/2 inch (1.5 cm)
slices. Preheat broiler. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet and
broil for a few moments on each side (be careful; these burn easily). Cool
on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
