Semisweet chocolate chips add rich flavor to this moist chocolaty cake that's lower in fat. Slices of it are excellent for dessert or a snack. —Kay McMicken of Charlotte, North Carolina

I needed to make a cake and received the email with this cake featured. I looked at it and thought I would make it and see how it came out and if everyone would like it. Awesome!!!! It was so moist and just plain old good tasting. My family and I loved it.

made as directed only increased chocolate chips (we like a lot). Cake was fantastic, the two of us demolished it in quick order. Will definitely make again and with a view to 'gifting' it. Joan McI Wilmington, NC

I have been making this cake since it first appeared in Light and Tastly, years ago. No one ever knows it is a light version. I do have to plan ahead to have the cake and pudding mix on hand.
