How to Make Fudgy Low Fat Chocolate Cake Bites

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Dust the pan with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine, 1/4 cup sugar substitute (e.g., Splenda), 1 large egg, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares.
Enjoy! Optional: Top with sugar-free preserves or a sugar-free chocolate drizzle for an extra touch of sweetness.
