Recipe Introduction


When I first started creating Healthy Exchanges recipes, I found lots of inspiration in the flavors my husband, Cliff, liked best. What's more, I still do! This cake combines some surprising ingredients, but together they produce a tasty treat that will truly drive the people you love best C-R-A-Z-Y (in a good way)!
Serves 8
*freezes well





List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  
• 1/2 cup Splenda Granular
  
• 1 cup water
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
  
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cocoa, and Splenda. Add water, vanilla extract, oil, and vinegar. Stir just to combine. Spread batter into prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips, pecans, and marshmallows over top.
