Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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.

This cake was a disaster! It never rose properly and it was super dry. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I would not recommend this recipe. The cake was dense and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

Overall, I thought this cake was pretty good. It wasn't the best chocolate cake I've ever had, but it was still tasty.

The cake was a little dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture to the cake batter next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I love that this cake is made with wholesome ingredients. It's a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate cake, but it still tastes delicious.

This cake is a keeper! It's moist, fluffy, and has the perfect amount of chocolate flavor. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I'm so glad I tried this recipe! It's the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The texture is also spot-on.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good! It was light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor was rich and decadent. I would definitely make this again.

This diet chocolate cake turned out amazing! I was hesitant because I thought it would be dry, but it was moist and flavorful. I loved that I could indulge my sweet tooth without feeling guilty.
