    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 used whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and 1 whole cup of cocoa. I accidently put 1 cup of applesauce and the results were great. I will definately make this again!! - 5/13/08

    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

    I really like this recipe! I didn't have enough all purpose flour so I substituted 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup cake flour. I also reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. Dusted the top with powdered sugar. I wll make this again and again. - 2/20/12

    SO GOOD! Super moist!! Was woried that the apple would make it weird, but not at all! The best cake ever!! Would make it again! Would never be able to tell it was low fat! - 9/9/11

    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

  • KCAGARBER
    This cake is very good! My only suggestion is to add at least 1/2 cup of cocoa extra. - 4/10/07

    Changes: used raw & halved the sugar. soaked 2/3 c chopped dates in the water; soy instead of dairy, spelt instead of wheat; 1 full cup cocoa; 1 egg & 1 egg white; topped with sweetened quality yoghurt mixed with mango and passionfruit. Made for 3 yr olds b'day. Fed 11 toddlers and 8 adults easily! - 12/10/07
  • ROMANTILLY
    I made it for my birthday, and added the extra cocoa as stated by someone. It was great. I also substituted low fat buttermilk for the milk, yum yum. - 11/29/07

    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
  • MARYSTIXX
    I love this cake! Does not taste low fat at all - Very moist & lucious. I made it for a friend for her birthday - everyone loved it! I did add a little extra cocoa as suggested by a previous rater (about 1/3 cup). - 8/19/07

    Really good! It's moist and dense and almost has more of a brownie textur. WWill definitely make again - 1/6/15
  • GOLDENRODFARM
    tasty, but not particularly low in calories even though it is low in fat, since the servings are 18 making a piece of cake only about 2"x3" for 150 calories, the two cups of sugar is making the calories high. - 8/24/14
