Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large zucchini, finely grated (about 2 cups)
1 (1-pound and 2.25-ounce) package chocolate fudge cake mix (recommended: Betty Crocker Super Moist
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3/4 cup applesauce
1 (12-ounce) package soft silken tofu
1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate fudge pudding (recommended: Jell-O)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8-ounce) package whipped topping (recommended: Cool Whip Lite)
Garnish: Chocolate sauce, confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat with cooking spray the bottom only of a 9 by 13 inch glass cake pan.
  • FOR CAKE: Set grated zucchini in a mesh strainer over a bowl and lightly press with a spatula to release water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cinnamon, eggs, egg whites, nonfat yogurt, and applesauce. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Fold in drained grated zucchini. Pour into prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely. When cool, invert cake onto a large plate or platter, and cut cake into 12 large squares with a clean, sharp knife.
  • FOR MOUSSE TOPPING: While cake is baking, combine tofu, pudding mix and cinnamon in a bowl. Using an electric mixer beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping with electric mixer on low speed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve, cut each cake square in half diagonally to make 2 triangles. Use a spoon to decorate each plate with chocolate sauce, set 2 cake triangles on each plate, sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder, and dollop with chocolate mousse.

The cake was dense and a bit dry. The topping helped, but overall it was just okay.

Followed the recipe exactly and the cake was a disaster. Dry and tasteless. Don't recommend.
