Slenderific Brownie Snacking Cakes

Lizzie Rodriquez's Note:

You can "have your cake, and eat it, too" with this luscious (but reduced fat) and easy to prepare, chocolate dessert. It is made with cocoa, a deep dark chocolate baking ingredient that contains less than one gram of fat per tablespoon.
