Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 ounce chocolate cook-and-serve pudding mix (sugar-free, fat-free)
1 3/4 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees (or temperature recommended on cake mix box). Lightly grease two 8 or 9 inch round non-stick cake pans. Mix together cake mix, cocoa powder, eggs, oil, and water using electric mixer. Note: if mix looks too dry, add more applesauce or if mix looks too wet, hold back some water. Bake for recommended baking time on cake box. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and cool completely.
Frosting: Over medium heat, combine pudding mix, skim milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to boil for 2 minutes, constantly stirring with spatula. Cool pudding to room temperature.
Frost cake by placing first cake round on platter. Cut top of cake flat and remove any excess cake. Apply half of the frosting to the cake. Add second cake round to the spread frosting. Push down slightly so the pudding is visible between the layers. Add remaining frosting to top of cake, keeping it 1/2 inch away from edge of cake all the way around. Chill in refrigerator overnight. Note: the moisture from the frosting pudding mix will soak into the cakes and create a very moist, almost pudding-like consistency.
This recipe was designed for Mother's Day for my wife who loves chocolate and can now eat all the chocolate cake she wants! By the way, this tastes amazing.

Won't Kill the Diet Chocolate Cinnamon Zucchini Cake image

This is a revamp of an old recipe I had. I made some changes to make it a bit more diet friendly. It contains less fat and sugar then the original recipe. The best thing about it is it is loved by all including my picky eaters who do not like zucchini.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup apple, sauce (Unsweetened)
1/2 brown sugar, NOT packed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon vinegar or 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/2 cups flour
2 cups zucchini, grated
1/2 cup 60% cocoa chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Add the 1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice to the skim milk and set aside. You want the milk to curdle.
Blend together the first 6 ingredients.
Mix in the dry ingredients and then stir in the milk, batter will be somewhat thick.
Fold in the shredded zucchini.
Pour batter into a greased 9x13" cake pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the cake batter.
Bake at 325 degrees 40-50 minutes or until cake tests done.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Diet chocolate cake is a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious diet chocolate cake that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
