One-Bowl Chocolate Mocha Cream Cake
This recipe was posted in Cooking Light and it ZOOMED to the top of my dessert recipes! Trust me, it's moist and delicious! I made simple changes including using a low-fat mayo, no-fat cool whip and cutting the granulated sugar with splenda. Carob morsels can also be used in place of the chocolate chips., but, omitting them entirely doesn't hurt the recipe AT ALL. Category Winner--Desserts.
