Expert Tips

*To toast almonds, heat oven to 350°F. Spread almonds in ungreased shallow pan. Bake 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

For a mocha-flavored dessert, add 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules to the batter mixture.

I was hesitant trying this recipe, but the first review gave me the curage to serve this low fat dessert for Valentines. Everyone LOVED it, and got seconds, the sauce was so rich, and the cake was moist, and somewhat spongey. I will definetly save this recipe. You could do many different flavors with this, I skipped the almonds and put peanut butter chips in it.

I did not care for this recipe at all. It fell short of what I expected. The flavor was just ok. The chocolate pudding sauce never set for me it was very liquidy. My kids enjoyed it though but I will not make it again.
