It doesn't have to be your birthday to indulge in healthy cake. Why not make healthy cake and enjoy! This recipe has portion control built-in as it only makes one. It's a huge serving and quite filling. That's one thing I remember from my sweet eating days, one was never enough. I wanted the biggest piece with the most frosting and then I wanted more. This cake will leave you satisfied, and maybe a little smug, because you can't believe how good this is and the best part, it's healthy for you.
Of course you can make this healthy cake super-duper indulgent and top with some fresh whipped cream, but not necessary. You could also play with different berries, strawberries and chocolate are always a good combo or even a mixed berry blend. Speaking of berries, Costco has huge bags of frozen raspberries at a very reasonable price! Trader Joe's also sells organic frozen berries, we love the wild blueberries as well as raspberries, at the same price as non-organic. Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive!

Mmm. I just made this for probably the 10th time. I love it. This time I thought I would change it up a bit. I used 16 drops of stevia in the cake and instead of water I used decaf espresso. Wowie was it good. 🙂
My daughter has an hard time with things being really moist. Could I adjust the flour to make it less moist?
This one is not overly moist.
