Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. Who does not love a piece of chocolate cake? I now have a new tradition in making a chocolate cake for my birthday and decorating it as well. It was my birthday and I wanted a guilty pleasure but not so guilty that it would make me fat. I made this cake in round pans and I decorated it with the Sprinkles' Dark Chocolate Frosting and it was SO delicious. The cake is 6 points a slice but frosting the cake could affect the points value. This cake is so chewy and moist you will never use the store brand ever again it's that good.
