    I used whole wheat pastry flour, 2 Tbsp sugar and 2 stevia packets, a pinch of baking powder, 1 Tbsp canola + 2 Tbsp fat free yogurt in place of applesauce, and almond milk. I also added 1 tsp of instant coffee. Only microwave for 2 minutes. Fluffy and incredible! Will use for my nutrition class! - 8/11/09

    This is a good recipe, one that converts rather easily to low-cal or luscious high-cal. I didn't much care for the texture of the microwave version either, but put it into ramekins and baked it for 15-20 min in my toaster oven. MUCH better texture. :-) Thanks for the recipe! - 7/6/09

    Was lovely but I tweaked the recipie and used wholemeal flour and used artificial sweetner and I put a bit of crushed walnut in the base and poured hot water over it give it a self sauce effect - 6/11/09

    I will not make this again. It was ok, but not what I hoped for. It tasted like a heavy chocolate sponge. - 12/2/08

    What, no baking powder? There was 1/4 tsp baking powder in the recipe my friend gave me. I agree with the person who said it was rubbery. Baking powder would have helped. But yes, it's not the same a a real chocolate cake. Still, it works if you're really jonesing for some chocolate. - 6/16/09
