Makeover Fudge Cake image

Mary Jo Kopecky of Madison, Wisconsin sent us her recipe for a wonderful fudge torte. "It's so rich and fudgy, but is loaded with saturated fat." The makeover fudge cake is moist, dense and oh-so-chocolaty...and has half the calories and saturated fat of the original.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I won't be making this recipe again.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still really good. I think next time I'll use half the amount of sugar in the frosting.

The frosting on this cake is to die for! It's so creamy and rich, it's the perfect complement to the moist chocolate cake.
