"Can't have Just One" Good
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.

fell short
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.

Pretty darn good.
This was pretty good. I've made it twice now and has been a hit both times. It's definitely not as sweet as I imagined it was going to be, but still great! I left out the almond flavoring just because I didn't have any, and it was still tasty! I'm sure it'd be just as good with the almond flavoring, as well. Definitely worth the time to make it.

Delicious!
I love this recipe! It's so hard to find quality recipes that are both tasty and healthy. This is definitely a winner! It tastes just like your eating a high-calorie brownie or chocolate cake but you aren't! I highly recommend it and I also suggest topping it with light Cool Whip!

Fabulous!
This luscious dessert will WOW friends and family. So simple to make, but seems like you worked hard. Put it in the oven just before serving dinner and allow to cool as you eat. Serving it warm with the gooey chocolate sauce spooned over reduced fat ice cream is a fabulous finish!
