Well I was a bit skeptical about a low fat chocolate cake, but I decided to give it a try. The only thing I did was used a dutch processed cocoa powder and increase it to 1/2 cup. I then decreased the flour to 1/2 cup. I also added one whole egg and 2 egg whites. No almond extract. The cake was a HUGE hit at work and they were even happier when they found out it was LOW FAT!!!! We have a winner! Thanks for the post!
