WWCarol 0 Posted January 17, 2007 Warning: 1 piece will fill you up for a long long time!   This "Chocolate Cake" recipe came from playing with: Lynn's Chocolate Baked Oatmeal, my Baked Oatmeal, Sheryls' Chocolate Snackin' Cake, and the Brownie recipes...Here goes!  "CHOCOLATE CAKE" Servings: 8-16 (I can't eat 1/8th anymore...!)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (I use a small toaster/convection oven.)  Line an 8X8" pan with Reynold's Non-Stick aluminum foil or spray with non-stick spray.  In one bowl, stir:  2 Cups oat bran 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder (Rumford, aluminum-free, is good) 1 tsp. baking soda Package of chocolate pudding mix, small (I used regular, but use FF/SF for all-CORE) 1/4 Cup of cocoa, unsweetened 3 Splenda packets (you may want yours sweeter) Pinch of salt  In another bowl, mix:  3 eggs, beaten 1 tsp. vanilla 1 Cup FF milk 1/2 C. applesauce, unsweetened (I use a 4 oz. pre-portioned container) 1 TBS. instant espresso coffee crystals  Add liquid bowl into dry bowl, mix quickly and pour into pan; put pan into oven for 25 minutes (or until sides of cake have pulled away from pan; cracks may appear on top). COOL.  Note: I've tried this "warm" and it was excellent. Great the next day, cold.  Let me know what you think! May you be happy. May you be well. May you be free from suffering.  Check out my website! Plant-Powered.com       . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandorra 10 Posted January 17, 2007 How does this compare to the Shery'ls recipe? That's what I normally make, except I add 1/3 c nonfat dry milk and a tsp baking powder to her recipe. **Sharyn** "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane!" ~ Jimmy Buffet  SW: 169 CW: 161 GW: 140 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandorra 10 Posted January 18, 2007 'Cept Sheryl's has the 3 bananas...!  Lots of people don't like the banana-taste. (Personally, I love it.)  I like the bananas but I don't always have them readily available when I get the urge for chocolate cake. This is a lot better from a convenience standpoint, I always have applesauce! **Sharyn** "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane!" ~ Jimmy Buffet  SW: 169 CW: 161 GW: 140 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tatortots 10 Posted January 18, 2007 Carol, thanks for the recipe. I plan on making this for my Sunday Football Party. I am really bored with the banana taste and look forward to this. Â We are excited about the Bears being in the playoffs but I think the Saints will eat their lunch!!

jamiebrandonsmom 0 Posted January 28, 2007 This is so good. I just finished a piece (I cut mine in 16pcs.) and put a spoonful of SF/FF cheesecake pudding on top and it was wonderful. I'm going to freeze the slices and then wrap individually. Thank you for the recipe!

ChristineP 0 Posted February 6, 2007 I tried this yesterday, and it was really good! And, I discovered at the last minute that I had no oat bran, so I subbed cream of wheat, and it came out fine!

thick 10 Posted February 10, 2007 Thank you for this recipe. I made it last night..and i concur it is verrrry filling. not something i would say about regular chocolate cake=) I iced it with ff pudding, it moistened it and provided a textural contrast--as well as more visual appeal for my family. Â Im going to try the cream of wheat version next time i make it. Â I think the main challenge with these core baked goods for me is having enough room for healthy foods as well. I just have to plan them into my day, not grab a piece as a snack before dinner, then not be hungry for my healthy 8s...I was tempted to have a slice for breakfast, but remembered the point i just made and went ahead with my scrambled eggs w/ bulgar,corn and tomatoes=) Â Thank you soo much for this and all of your recipes=) Â Catherine 295/op/lt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WnderLander 0 Posted February 12, 2007 This is on my menu to make for Valentines day... I'll frost it with a little vanilla pudding/ff cool whip with a dash of red food coloring!

nelzer 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Has anyone tried topping this with sugar free cherry pie filling for like a black forest cake. I haven't tried this recipe yet but am going to try it this weekend. Thanks. It sounds wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tissie 10 Posted June 26, 2008 Made this last night and it was very good (topped it with FF/Sf pudding). DH and I thought it needed a little more sweetener. I used Stevia extract, and I don't think I put enough drops in! I will try the packets the next time! Does anyone know if they are the same sweetness as a Splenda packet? Tissie One bite at a time!

freetobethin 10 Posted January 17, 2009 Jenny, the cupcake idea is right on. I took them on my trip this week. They travel great. They are not crumbly, just wonderful. How can anyone feel deprived when they eat these things. I enjoyed them for breakfast with a cup of hot green tea. Awesome! Â Carol, thank you! *Irene* Thin for Life: Yes!
