“This cake is great for a healthier version of chocolate cake! We tried it with just melted sugar free chocolate chips on top, but we were really missing the frosting. So I made some of skinnytaste’s cream cheese frosting. I added some melted sugar free chocola” — a cook, 5.0★
“Absolutely love this cake. Everytime I make it, everyone raves about it. It has become my chocolate cake recipe anytime I make a chocolate cake. So incredibly good. For frosting I've used the 1 minute chocolate frosting and it works perfectly.” — a cook, 5.0★
