Poppy, This Cake was good but a little dry... I know that if you give up the Fat(and the sugar) sometimes that happens but Thanks for a Cake that I can enjoy "guilt free". I crave Chocolate cake with Icing alot and being a borderline Diabetic and overweight, I try to watch my fat and calorie intake. I even substituted Splenda for the Sugar and I used whole wheat flour. I used recipe #56881 for the Icing and topped it with a few strawberries that I picked from the Strawberry Farm here in Tennessee, and I had a delightful Treat! I also believe this recipe could be used for a Brownie by adding chopped pecans or Walnuts and a few Unsweetened chocolate chips to the batter! Thanks so Much!

I used nonfat greek yogurt, gluten free flour (180g), and substituted half the sugar with stevia in the raw. I whipped it well when mixing it with my mixer. Over the top I spread a ganache made with 100g dark chocolate chips and 50g nonfat milk. Wow! This cake was a big hit!! Everyone loved it and my kids both went back for seconds. It rose beautifully in the oven. It was nicely moist. The only thing that gave a hint that it wasn't your usual cake recipe was that it was spongy in texture rather than fluffy. But that is a minor quibble in my book. I will be making this again!

I can't imagine a better fat free cake! To be honest, I used 4 whole eggs, so it wasn't entirely fat free, but still! I also used 1 c. sour cream in place of some yogurt. It easily made two- round cakes, which made a two layer cake. I melted 2 T. margarine, mixed in 1/4c. brown sugar then removed from the heat and mixed in 2 c. powdered sugar with some milk. Frosted with that and topped with a little caramel ice cream topping and a tablespoon of chopped pecans. Beautiful and tasty!
