Hi Desi, I have made the below recipe and it definitely hit the spot for my friend who was watching her weight. Good luck and enjoy. Becky
HG's Chocolate-on-Chocolate Frosted Cake Yield: 8 Servings Ingredients: For Topping: 1 sugar-free chocolate pudding snack with 60 calories or less (like the kind by Jell-O) 1/3 cup chocolate frosting 2 tablespoons light chocolate syrup For Cake: 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Two 25-calorie packets hot cocoa mix (like Swiss Miss Diet or Nestlé Fat Free) Half an 18.25-oz. box (about 1 3/4 cups) moist-style devil's food cake mix 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" round cake pan with nonstick spray and set aside. 2. In a medium-large bowl, combine topping ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until thickened and cake is ready to be frosted. 3. To make the cake, place chocolate chips and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass. Add 1/2 cup very hot water and stir to dissolve. Add 3/4 cup very cold water and set aside. 4. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well. Add chocolate-cocoa mixture and egg substitute. Whisk until completely blended. 5. Pour batter into the cake pan. Bake in the oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. 6. Once cake has completely cooled, transfer to a plate. Evenly spread the topping over the top of the cake. Refrigerate until topping has set, at least 15 minutes. Evenly cut cake into 8 slices. Serve and enjoy! (Refrigerate leftovers.)

I am on a continuing quest to lose some weight, but my husband's Birthday is coming up in just over a week, and because we both have high blood pressure and high Cholesterol, I'd like to find a recipe that would get us both in as little trouble as possible! I know there are some alternative chocolate cake recipes out there, but I'm wondering if any of you have tried them, and if so, would you be willing to share them with me? Thanks!
