You won't miss the fat when you taste this moist, fudgy dessert submitted by Brenda Ruse of Truro, Nova Scotia. Brenda substituted yogurt for the oil called for in a reduced-fat box mix to create this delicious cake.

I was looking for a chocolate cake recipe where I don't have to use too many ingredients and easy to make. Then, I found this recipe and my gf and I were surprised by the taste - it was yummy and super moist for sure. I made it and brought to my friend's party and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. Will definitely keep this recipe and make it again!

This is one of the best low-fat chocolate cake recipes I have come across. I make this weekly and I have even used a yellow cake mix.

Excellent low-fate recipe. The addition of cocoa intensifies the chocolate flavor and makes up for the decreased fat. Definitely recommend!

Do you use a cake mix that has pudding in it?
