Have you tried Heather's peppermint chocolate cake?
It reminds me a bit of brownies and even has a chocolate glaze. I substitute almond extract for the peppermint, and it is very delicious and easy to make.

Okay, so why did you direct this to me? Have I established a reputation?
Believe it or not, I haven't made her cake. Oh, I saw it in the book, you bet! But I was afraid of it. I'm SOOOOO a chocoholic, and if I can't stop with one brownie, how could I stop with one slice of cake?
I'm STILL "catching it" from my husband over those 2 brownies last week -- I don't DARE make a cake! (But thanks, pretty lady!)

Bev, you haven't tried the peppermint chocolate cake?!?! Oh my, are you missing out! I can just hear it calling your name now....Bevvvvvvv.....Bevvvvvv
Maybe you can make it for a get-together or someone else's birthday or something, so you only get to have one piece (and then someone else gets the leftovers!). THis is what I do....because that cake is so doggone good, I wouldn't be able to stop at one piece either

You're quite the little temptress, aren't you, dear?!? Well I'm strong, see, I can resist such things!
(now what page was that recipe on?)

And here I thought I was the only chocolate addict!!!!
The whole cake? Really? You'd eat it that fast?
Guess what? Me too!!!
I don't fight it but darn that cake would tempt me out of my gourd. Maybe I'll just wait until I have to take a cake somewhere, like to a pot luck, then I KNOW I'll only get one piece of it....

No reputation at all. I just knew you liked brownies, and since I love that cake I figured it might be a nice variation. I can relate to eating too much at once. I often have that problem with sweets. At least these are low fat.

i made the almond version tonight (my mom was comiong to dinner and hates mint..) mom loved it and my husband said "that cake kicks butt.." high praise for him as he is addicted to fat.. he couldnt beleive it when i told him it was LOW FAT.... I wonder how much is too much?? Can I eat half a cake and still be okay????

Today I made the no pudge brownies and added almond extract and a few vegan chocolate chips. Yum! Maybe a few pecans next time....

I love this cake! I ran out of almond the other day, so just used all vanilla. I don't like the peppermint version - too minty!

Okay, what flavor of No Pudge did you buy? Cappuccino?
You need to do a taste test. You made the No Pudge, so now ya gotta make the ADBs. Let us know which is best.
I just love taste tests.

I just bought the regular flavor. I like the ADB, but the no pudge is really convenient when I have a 2 year old screaming for attention. The yogurt adds a nice texture.
