This cake is almost fat-free, if you are in need of a chocolate fix and watching your fat intake then this might be what you are looking for ;-) don't bother licking the spoon before baking as the yogurt makes it taste kind of tingly and weird, lol! Watch closely, do not overbake this cake you will need to experiment with length of cooking time to suit your oven and baking pan. Enjoy one or two pieces without any guilt - for greasing see my Pan Release, Professional Pan Coating (Better Than Pam Spray!) - *NOTE* for Weight Watchers program it is calculated at 18 pieces/2 points each
