You CAN have your cake& eat it too!

Just because I'm making healthier choices in the foods I eat, it does not mean I don't crave my sweets every one in a while! Thank goodness I found this amazing low-fat chocolate cake recipe.

It's quite easy to make and there's even a recipe for the frosting that goes along with it.

Ingredients

1 cup cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons applesauce
1/2 cup 2 percent low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon instant decaffeinated coffee
2 (2 1/2-ounce) jars prune baby food
1 ounce semisweet chocolate chips, melted
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 egg whites

For icing
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup 0 percent Greek yogurt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray one round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with flour.
2. Sift together all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
3. In a small bowl, mix applesauce, milk, vanilla, coffee, prunes, chocolate, almond extract, and egg whites. Fold into the dry ingredients.
4. Bake for 40 minutes.
5. While the cake is baking, you can create the icing. After melting 2 ounces of chocolate chips, fold them into the 1/2 cup of 0 percent Greek yogurt. Refrigerate until you're ready to ice your cake for the best consistency.
6. Allow cake to cool before icing and slicing. It's best to slice and serve when it's still warm!
