Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • In a small bowl place water and cocoa powder and mix together.
  • Add all of the ingredients for cake mixture(including cocoa powder mixture) into one bowl and mix together.
  • 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.
  • Pour mixture into pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 35 minutes.
  • For frosting, add light creme cheese and light butter and creme together.
  • Add splenda and lightly mix.
  • Add cocoa powder and salt and mix to combine.
  • Add vanilla and mix.
  • 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).
  • When the cake is cooled frost the tops and sides of the cake!
