You Can Eat Anything You Want.... but NOT THAT! {Low Everything & Something Free Chocolate Cake Recipe}

On our You Can Eat Anything You Want.... but NOT THAT Diet {as we like to call it} they offered up a diet "brownie" recipe made with ingredients that had to be imported from Mars.... my Gluten Free, Vegan, Health Conscious, Nutritionist friends out there are cringing I'm sure.... but this is new ground in Chez Webb.... We have an altar of butter we bow to every morning.... or at least we did until it started to bow under the pressure of our weight.  So, we are trying.  And what looked like the PERFECT diet is day by day removing any semblance of our former eating "style" but alas some changes needed to be made.  Now, don't get me wrong.... this isn't going to become Heidi's Diet Blog.  But, if I find a few yummy "diet" foods along the way, I will share them.  And I may tweak a few of my tried & true to see how the fare with no butter for instance.... so, don't get skerred.  I'm still here.  Anyhow, the "brownie" was NOT a brownie but it is pretty yummy cake :)
