It must just be my taste buds...I found this plain and not very chocolaty...kinda like watered down chocolate...it was however very soft and moist and looked yummy. I followed the recipe exactly except I used regular sour cream. Made for Zaar Tag.

This was easy to throw together, and it was very good...even without the icing (I realized too late that I was out of powdered sugar). This was especially good with ice cream, although I know that defeats the whole purpose of making a light cake. :)

This is moist and VERY chocolate. I'd never guess it was low-fat if I hadn't made it myself. Made for Review my Recipe - A NEW Tag Game. Thanks for posting a keeper Redsie!
