    This is a MUST MAKE healthy chocolate cake recipe! Who knew chocolate cake could be made this healthy, this easy? The Diet Chef #HealthyCake #HealthyChocolateCake #WeightWatchers

    Who doesn't love chocolate cake?!

    I know I'm guilty as charged on this one, but at 135 calories for every 3 inch by 3 inch slice, how could you not be?

    Not only is this cake low in calories, but every piece also has almost 10 grams of protein.

    Eat cake, build muscle? Simple Right?

    Well making this cake is actually just that, simple. Prep time for this cake is maybe 5 minutes, and baking time is 25 minutes.

    Not bad for healthy cake from scratch eh?
