Even though I was hesitant about the items in this recipe coming together in a "chocolate cake," I am so glad I tried it. This was actually a very tasty, dense, moist cake. The flavor was very good and I will definitely make this again when facing a low-calorie desert request. Two things that I did differently than what the recipe suggested were 1) I added the sugar into the wet ingredients and mixed it in before adding to the dry ingredients and 2) I whipped the egg whites into soft peaks and folded them into the batter in two additions at the end before pouring into the pan. Also, there was not enough cake batter for two pans, just one. We topped this with a little whipped cream (for those who were not on a diet) and some fresh raspberries. Definitely delicious.
