I made this cake but not the frosting, I didnt eat thea ctual cake yet but it came out fantastic, the batter was delicious and its super easy to make. Plus no oil or egg yolks.

I used full fat pudding mix and 2% milk, but OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE I'VE EVER HAD!! Everyone in my family had a piece (and my kids are very picky) and they all LOVED it!! I am adding this to my list of permanent recipes. Thank you Taste of Home!!

It's the real thing. The chocolate version is wonderful! I'm a vanilla fan, therefore I substituted a vanilla cake mix and vanilla frosting. Wow! I think this will become a staple in my house. This, along with all these light recipes fit in perfectly with the Weight Watcher Points Plus program. Try it!

Took this cake to church for a get-together Friday. Everyone was impressed that it could taste so good, being a lower fat and sugar dessert.

I made this for Mother's Day - it looked pretty, tasted great & the chocolate lovers were delighted that it was a low fat dessert. The children loved the frosting & cake, in that order. Thanks for a great recipe.

This cake was very moist and the frosting was wonderful. My husband loved it. I made it with a white cake mix as I didn't have chocolate and used egg beaters and it was wonderful but probably not as low calorie as it could have been using egg whites.

I made it for Mother's Day, and everyone loved it. No one guessed that it was a "lighter" dessert.

This will be a KEEPER for my family. Nobody could believe it was low-fat/sugar. It was super moist and very flavorful. I opted to go for a dark chocolate cake mix (by Duncan Hines) and just can't say enough great things about this recipe! Thxs for posting this one :)

Was excellent and everyone loved it...so moist! Can't wait to try with other flavors of cake mix w/co-ordinating FF/SF pudding.
