Ingredients
1 cup whole-wheat flour1 cup whey protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)1/2 cup cocoa1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda1/4 teaspoon salt1 cup Splenda3/4 cup light mayonnaise1 cup water1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1. Sift the flour, cocoa, soda and salt together. (I suggest not using a regular sifter, as the cocoa does not come out well. Use a strainer instead.)
2. Cream the sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla together.
3. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir.
4. Pour batter into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan.
5. Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes.

Serves 12.

If you make cupcakes, the batter will make 18-24 depending on size of tins.

Keep cake covered tightly to retain its moistness. We eat it plain, but you can sprinkle powdered sugar on it to make it fancier. Use a paper doily and sprinkle the powdered sugar through a sifter. Lift doily and you have a beautifully decorated cake!

     Sometimes when a recipe calls for mayo or sour cream I substitute greek yogurt for it and that seems to work for me. Everyone's taste buds are different!! - 5/21/13

     Stutlertoni..yes applesauce can be..might not be a rich chocolate flavor but yes it is a great sub for mayo...Greek yogurt is also it will give it almost the same kinda taste as mayo. I have used all these and they are interchangeable - 7/2/13

     Oh I was all for this until I saw the Splenda! - 7/2/13

     I sprinkle Brown Sugar TWIN (from the box) on top of baked goods, gives the right touch of sweetness. Don't use the mixture of brown sugar/splenda brown sugar, that has a nasty off taste. Sugar Twin is better. - 5/21/13

     These were surprisingly great! Taste just like a regular cupcake, my daughter told me. I used chocolate protein powder and substituted fat-free vanilla greek yogurt for the mayo. I had to add a little extra water. I'd give them 5 stars, but for some reason it wouldn't let me do the stars! - 1/18/15

     I think this recipe came out really good. The few changes I did (after reading a few reviews) were substituting the mayo with greek yogurt and I used a muffin tin and cooked them for about 20 minutes. I also added Chocolate chip morsales to a few of them for the kids. They were great both ways. - 8/15/13

     I have read about using applesauce or baby food prunes to replace oil in a recipe. It might add some moisture. - 2/4/14

     Would chocolate soy protein powder work? - 7/2/13

     I used regular sugar and regular yogurt instead the listed ingredients. I increased the unsweetened chocolate amount only because I used unflavored protein whey. Everyone loved the results. - 7/26/18

     Just to add some information; mayo has eggs in it, yogurt doesn't. Not that it probably matters, but don't eggs make it puff up a little? - 12/21/17
  • MALEAVERA

     I will have to save this recipe and give it a try. I think I will make it as cupcakes so that I can freeze them to pull out when I want something sweet to eat. Thanks for sharing - 3/11/17

  • UTIKONE
     It seems a good recipe, any chance to have ingredients in grams and ml? A large part of the world does not use cups. - 2/8/15
  • SERNORR2
     When do you add Whey protein? You left that out in the directions. Do you sift it with the other dry ingredients? - 10/29/14

     I wanted to try this, but felt it had too many carbs for my low carb eating plan. I used almond meal flour for the wheat flour. I also cut the Splenda back to around 3/4 of a cup. The result is in and it's a keeper! - 7/12/14
