Skinny Chocolate Cake Recipes

HOMEMADE SKINNY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Lightly spray and flour your cake pan.
• In a large bowl combine flour, dry chocolate pudding mix, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside. (dry ingredients)
• In a medium bowl, combine HOT coffee with the cocoa powder until it dissolves. Slowly add milk and vanilla extract. Set aside. (wet ingredients)
• In a stand mixer on low speed combine the sugar and oil; mix to combine well.
• Add the applesauce until mixed through. Then add eggs and egg whites until incorporated.
• Starting with the dry ingredients, slowly add a little of the dry, then a little of the wet ingredients, alternating between wet and dry until all the ingredients are mixed in.
• Last step is to add the Greek yogurt and just stir to combine.
• Pour into the cake pan and transfer to oven.
• Depending on the pan you use, (I used a 13 x 9-inch pan) bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cupcakes will be closer to 25-30 minutes.

SKINNYGIRL'S CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F Put all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined.
• Pour the batter into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time. When a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, it's done.
• Let the cake cool completely, then top with Peanut Butter Glaze. Slice & serve.
• For the glaze: Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a hand blender until the sugar crystal are dissolved. If they aren't dissolving, you can gently heat the mixture until they do. Heat on low on the stove or on 50 percent power in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Be careful with splattering when blending.
