Source of Recipe

Fine Living Newsletter
For cake:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup canned evaporated non-fat or low-fat milk
3 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting pan
1-2 Tbs. canola oil

Mix ingredients by hand. Spread mixture in 9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray and dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder

For pudding:

1 cup water
3 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbs. chocolate extract
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all ingredients — you can use the same bowl. Pour this watery mixture over the above batter and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Or, cook it in the microwave for 12 to 18 minutes. Just be sure to use a microwave-safe pan. Per piece: 180 calories, 2g fat

Note: To convert a recipe using cocoa powder: If it calls for 1 oz. of hard chocolate or chocolate pieces, replace it with 3 Tbs. of cocoa powder and 1 Tbs. of canola oil, which is a much healthier fat.
