If you have a sweet tooth you’re going to love this chocolate cake!
It’s perfect for the holidays or a small party. Nobody will even know it’s WW friendly!
I think a meal at the holidays isn’t complete without dessert. For Thanksgiving it’s always pie, but for Christmas anything goes!
To make it festive I added little pieces of broken candy cane, but that’s totally optional.
For the chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting it is 5 points per serving. That’s for blue, green and purple!
I bought Pillsbury sugar-free classic yellow cake mix for this recipe. I’ve never seen sugar-free chocolate cake so I figured I would make my own.
All I had to do to make the cake chocolate was add cocoa powder. Four tablespoons gave the cake a delicious chocolate flavor.
Most of my cake recipes are made the same way. Instead of using eggs or oil I use diet soda. I use different flavors for different cakes.
This cake I decided to use Diet Coke. I mixed the cake mix with 12 oz. of Diet Coke and used a hand mixer for 2 minutes on medium.
After the 2 minutes I poured the batter into a 9×13 baking pan that I sprayed with cooking spray.
I baked the cake for 34 minutes then let it cool completely before I frosted it.
The frosting is very easy to make. I used 8 ounces of 1/3 fat Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Once again I used the hand mixer for the frosting. Once it was mixed together I spread it onto the cake.
You can serve it as-is or you can add sprinkles or candy canes, anything you like! Just be sure to add extra points if you do.
