To Die For Healthy Chocolate Cake

I am a big fan of Bethenny Frankel and have heard her sing the praises of her no butter, no egg, low fat chocolate cake but to be honest, I figured it would taste like cardboard.

Out of curiosity, I decided to try it. I made 2 small changes - I used all purpose flour instead of oat flour and topped my cake with a little powdered sugar instead of peanut butter glaze.

In summary, I was wrong. So wrong. This cake is to die for. Ridiculously easy to make and so rich and delicious. I made it in less than 10 minutes, baked it for 35 minutes and ate in within a few days. So good!
