Ingredients

    CAKE:
    1 1/8 c. all-purpose flour
    3/4 c. Nevella No-Cal Sweetener w/probiotics (could also use Splenda)
    3/4 tsp. baking soda
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. butter or margarine
    1/2 c. NON-FAT sour cream
    2 large eggs
    2 oz. UNSWEETENED baking chocolate, melted
    1/4 c. 1% milk
    3/8 tsp. vanilla extract (imitation used for nutritional info)

    TOPPING:
    3/8 c. NON-FAT evaporated milk
    1/4 c. Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
    3 TBSP butter or margarine
    2/3 c. flaked coconut (sweetened was used for nut. info)
    1/2 c. chopped pecans

    Spray a 9"x9" baking pan with non-stick pan spray. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, sugar replacement & eggs. Add in melted (& somewhat cooled) chocolate & vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda & salt together. Add to "wet" mixture & beat with mixer at low speed until blended. Beat 2 minutes longer at higher speed. Spoon into pan & bake for ~20 minutes (test for doneness). If needed, bake a few minutes longer. Remove & cool before frosting.

    Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, bring brown sugar replacement, evaporated milk & butter to a full boil. Remove from heat & stir in coconut & pecans. Cool to room temperature, then top cake with frosting.

    This makes a 9" x 9" ONE-LAYER cake.
