Low Calorie Chocolate Cake W/ Frosting

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar (you may use splenda alternative, but i can't guarantee a moist cake with that)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 8 ounces light cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon light butter
• 2 cups splenda granular
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• skim milk

Recipe

• 1 in a small bowl place water and cocoa powder and mix together.
• 2 add all of the ingredients for cake mixture(including cocoa powder mixture) into one bowl and mix together.
• 3 place parchment paper on the bottom of a cake tin. do not grease the sides of the tin as you can use a knife to ease it off the edges later. this helps the cake rise more as it sticks.
• 4 pour mixture into pan.
• 5 bake at 350f for 35 minutes.
• 6 for frosting, add light creme cheese and light butter and creme together.
• 7 add splenda and lightly mix.
• 8 add cocoa powder and salt and mix to combine.
• 9 add vanilla and mix.
• 10 if it is a spreadable consistency, there is no need for the skim milk, but if not add enough milk to make it so. (i suggest adding in teaspoonfuls at a time so you don't over do it).
• 11 when the cake is cooled frost the tops and sides of the cake!
