For those who are critical: If you're afraid of 224 calories and an occasional sweet splurge, then have you really come to terms with changing your lifestyle for permanent weight loss? When the urge for chocolate cake hits I would rather make and eat something like this, which is real food. - 7/7/13

*THIS RECIPE WAS CHANGED AFTER ALL THE CRITICISM.* I do a gluten-free version with flax meal, almond flour & stevia. It's still high in calories because of the flax & almond flour, but it's really high in fiber & omegas. Whether you make it with healthier options or not, it's still an easy recipe. - 6/6/13

I am really amazed at all the negativity. It's the first time I've seen it since I've been in Spark, and that's been years. I'm very unhappy now!
I think the recipe sounds great. If someone doesn't want to eat it / make it / indulge, then just DON'T. Why come and bring the recipe writer down? - 7/19/13

It was good for the most part,a little dry . I did change the oil for low sugar applesauce. If you have a strong microwave don't leave it on for three min. It was rock hard the first time I made it. In a similar recipe they said to microwave only 1 min.I did that on the second one and it was fine. - 7/19/13

To the original poster: I'm sorry you felt compelled to change your recipe due to intense criticism--that's what is out of place here, not the recipe. And FYI to many of the naysayers: "healthier" substitues like Splenda and other fake sugars are way more dangerous than a 300-calorie cake. - 12/5/13

sounds like it is good but why are there so many people on here that are being mean and nasty about one little recipe. I thought this was a places where we are supposed to be supportive to one another and encouraging to others. It looks like I might have made yet another mistake coming back here. - 7/19/13

Thanks for sharing this. It was great! Just perfect for a sweet tooth and chocolate craving. I substituted half of the oil with milk and used a whole egg since I don't have packaged egg whites. It was a little too dense. Will try using just the egg white next time--might turn out a little fluffier. - 7/8/13

Would love to make this but don't know what a 1/2 pkg egg whites means. Any help? I don't care about the calories or negativity or amt of fiber. I just like that it is 1 serving I can indulge with no leftovers which is dh & my weakness now than we have empty nest. Will use stevia for diabetic dh - 8/31/13

I tried this....tried a gluten free version, due to my dietary restrictions....used almond flour and coconut oil and one whole egg....it came out hard as a rock and tasted burnt....guess I need to adjust the time. I cooked on high for 3 mins as recipe suggested. Will try again not cooking as long. - 7/7/13

I'm really sorry for the low rating but this recipe didn't work for me. I'm good at baking & figured it would make this a piece of cake! But something went wrong; kinda tweaked the recipe, & maybe cooked to long- it DID turn into a flavorless sponge. I'm sticking with normal cake, but great effort! - 7/13/13
