    Impressive! Super easy to make! I used 1c. Splenda (in place of sugar) & increased to 1c. Applesauce. Replaced flour with whole wheat flour. Only 69 calories and 13 carbs per serving! My husband really liked it, said it was more like a brownie consistancy. Will save this recipe. - 11/2/09

    I made this last night as a double layer birthday cake, it was so good! Didn't even taste like it was healthy! I used a full cup of apple sauce, changed sugar for splenda, and used 1 1/4 cup cocoa. So moist! My boyfriend LOVED it! - 6/24/08

    I love this ! I made it vegan with egg substitute and nonfat soymilk. I used Splenda instead of sugar. I used 1 1/4 cocoa and 1/8 powdered sugar sifted on top. I got it down to 103.5 calories with 12 servings ;) - 5/13/08

    We served this at a family gathering. No one guessed it was low fat. I added 1/3 cup extra cocoa, but I actually thought it was a little too rich. I will experiment with the cocoa to see what we like best. But I will definitely be making this again. It was delicious! - 2/5/08

    The only thing I changed was I used Carob Powder instead of the Cocoa Powder since I am allergic to caffine.

    Not only was this easy to make, I took it without tasting it first to my Bible Study Group - We all wanted 2nds!!!!! This was a hit and will be making this cake again. - 5/17/08

    I made this cake last night and instead of using regular cocoa, I used Hershey's Dark Chocolate cocoa (25 calories per serving) and it was delicious!!! It looks more like a brownie than a cake, but it's really good. I would definitely make it again! - 10/24/07

    I substituted stevia for half the sugar, whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour, used 2 eggs instead of 3 egg whites, upped the cocoa powder to 1 1/4 cups, and used coconut milk instead of cow's milk. The cake was moist and delicious! Baked for 25 minutes at 325 in a convection oven. - 4/16/13

    This was a huge hit at my house. Nobody knew it was reduced fat and everyone loved it. I used almond milk (we're all lactose intolerant) and a tablespoon of espresso powder added to the dry ingredients. Made a half recipe and put it in an 8x8 pan. Worked perfectly! - 2/4/13

    Light, fluffy, moist, and best of all, CHOCOLATEY! I used 2 whole eggs instead of 3 egg whites, replaced a 1/4 cup of white flour for whole wheat flour, and added 2 tsp of refined coconut oil. Not as low fat, but definitely GOOOOOOOOD! - 3/30/12
