  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

  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

  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

  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

  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

  Really good! It's moist and dense and almost has more of a brownie textur. WWill definitely make again - 1/6/15

  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

  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

  5 Star Cake for sure! Thanks for sharing!!
  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

  This was fabulous. No one had any idea that it was low in fat. I also reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and it was plenty sweet. I did not change the amount of cocoa as some of the recipes did above. - 2/20/10

  Quite tasty. I also used the 1 c (instead of 3/4 c) cocoa; could actually have used some more, for my tastes. Still not quite as "thick tasting" as normal cake, but pretty good considering it's low fat. - 8/4/09

  I used oat bran instead of flour, 1/2 cup Splenda, 1 cup unsweetend applesauce and whole eggs. This recipe is like ones from the early 1990's, when only fat was considered the culprit making people fatter. - 2/3/09

  This cake is very tasty. The alterations I made were: 1.5 cups of sugar, Better'n'Eggs instead of the egg whites, and an additional 1/2 cup (approx.) of cocoa powder. oh, and I used unbleached, unenriched flour.

  I hate throwing out egg yolks. They have a bad rap - but they can help save your eyesight. I'd rather use two whole eggs...and less sugar...replace some of it with stevia.
  But I do know th applesauce would make it moist.

  this sounds much like the VERY GOOD recipie on the back of the Hershey's unsweetened cocoa... I've dropped the sugar down by 25% and still fantastic. Whole wheat flour does change the consistency i think. - 5/12/08

  I will make this cake experimenting with sugar substitute, sugars are way too much - 2 cups of sugar doesn't work for me, but looks great (enriched flour isn't good either, and will work on that). - 5/12/08
