WW Friendly Chocolate Cake

Hi all!

I’m so excited to share this WW Friendly Chocolate Cake recipe with you.

With the recent events of life, we have been stuck at home for about a month now. 

It’s been a good thing though, because it gave me some time to get caught up with work enough that I now have some spare time to work on the blog!

Yay!

I had a baby in December, so prior to that I was trying to get my work done ahead of time so I could enjoy a bit longer of a maternity leave. 

That didn’t leave much time to dedicate to this blog – and for that I’m sorry. 

But I’m back and I’ve been a cooking fool!

I haven’t done many dessert recipes and it’s mainly because I always assumed dessert was going to be harder to get healthy, or even semi-healthy. 

But I had a good time, and I mean tasty time, creating this recipe and I’m very happy with how it turned out. 

By substituting some ingredients that would typically cause the points to rise into the double digits, I was able to keep the count lower. 

So why is it that I always want something sweet before bed?

When the kids are tucked in and sleeping, it’s like a bad habit of mine to want to sit down and munch on cookies or eat something sweet. 

After I made this cake and ate a piece before bed, I found myself staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep, for quite some time. 

Not good when you have a young baby, whom you know is going to wake up any second and demand a night feeding. 

Anyways, even though I gave in and had something sweet that night, I didn’t feel very guilty about it and I stayed within my points for the day. 

I usually make each recipe I post at least a couple of times to get the ingredients and taste just right. 

This time, though, I didn’t do that. 

I think it turned out fantastically! 

The Cool Whip in the frosting matches perfectly with the dense but moist chocolaty cake. 

Some notes on this recipe that I need to share:

I found this relatively easy to make! 

You make this cake in a jelly roll pan.

For those of you who don’t know what a jelly roll pan is, it’s a cookie sheet like pan with edges about an inch or so tall. 

I used parchment paper to line the pan, but you could also use wax paper. 

I always try to get the best tasting foods for the least amount of points. 

Make sure you are using Pilsbury Super Moist Devil’s Food Sugar Free Mix.  

That is the exact cake mix I used in this recipe, to make sure the point count is accurate. 

Okay, I think those are all my notes. 

Now, on to the recipe!

This recipe serves 18. Each serving is 5 points on any plan.

Am I missing something? I don’t see when you use the lukewarm sugar/water mixture.

You can make this in a regular 9" round cake pan as well right?

Yes! You can make it really in any pan, but you'd need to adjust the servings to your liking, and then the points may be different. If you subscribe to WW, you can use the recipe builder to help you do this.
