Low Fat Chocolate Sponge Cake image

If you're looking for a single layer of light moist sponge with depth of flavour you can't go wrong with this recipe. I tend to use Green & Blacks' organic cocoa powder (dutched) for best results. If you're watching your waistline but have a sweet tooth, this is quite a tasty little number which won't massively compromise your diet.

This cake is a solid 3 out of 5. It's not the best chocolate cake I've ever had, but it's definitely not the worst either.

This cake is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not sure if it's the oat flour or the Greek yogurt, but this cake has a strange aftertaste that I don't really care for.

This cake is a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake is way too sweet for my taste. I ended up having to cut the sugar in half.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try it again and see if I can get it right.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover bananas. It's moist and flavorful, and it has a nice banana flavor that's not too overpowering.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt. It adds a nice tanginess to the cake that really complements the chocolate flavor.

I've tried a lot of low-fat chocolate cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's moist and flavorful, and it doesn't have that weird aftertaste that some low-fat cakes have.
