Pretty moist and fluffy for a low-fat cake, but my husband and I didn't like the spices in there. If you're not a fan of a strong spice like cardamom (or nutmeg I'd leave it out. Otherwise I was pleased!

This is a very good cake. It wasn't overly moist, but I may have had my oven temp a little high. The cardamom gives it a very unique flavor and while I am glad I used it, I would use just a bit less as it is a very powerful spice. I will definitely make it again. . .and again. . .and again.

This is a good lower fat version of a chocolate cake - but I wouldn't call it decadent. It's not rich and overly sweet like the name implies - but that said, it is not dry like many low fat cakes, and it has a really nice consistency. I like the flavor, but I may tweek it next time with a little more cocoa. Since cardamom costs over $16 for a small bottle, I substituted 1/2 cinnamon and 1/2 nutmeg, which is the recommended substitute for baked goods. I didn't have any instant espresso, so I made an espresso in the coffee maker and used that - double strength coffee would work as well. I'm going to play with the recipe just a bit and give it another try.

This was amazing! i followed the recipe exactly except i omitted the cardamom since i didn't have any, and it came out so moist and decadent as described! I didn't have a bundt pan so i just used a loaf pan for about an hour and it came out absolutely amazing. satisfying and low calorie - perfect for a quick snack! the little chopped pieces of chocolate chips were perfectly melted and added even more decadence and richness to the cake. i will make this again and again!

Fantastic!!

I was out of a few ingredients so I made some substitutions: raisins for currents, 1:1 mix of cinnamon and nutmeg for cardamom, regular finely ground coffee for espresso, and strained plain yogurt for greek yogurt.

I also halved the recipe since there are only 2 of us at home. I baked it in a bread loaf pan for 45 minutes and it turned out beautifully dark and rich. My boyfriend especially liked the chewy raisins! I'm replacing my usual, full-calorie, chocolate cake recipe with this one!

I made this using sour cream instead of yogurt, since I couldn't find Greek yogurt. Also note that the ingredients don't list pieces of chocolate, but the recipe tells you to add the chocolate when you mix it all together. So I put about 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate morsels in. This is a lovely cake, dense and chocolate-y. I made a simple chocolate glaze for the top. My family loved it.
