How to Make Low Fat Hot Fudge Spoon Cake

  1. In a slow cooker, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 (3.4 ounce) package of instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding is completely dissolved and smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 box (15.25 ounce) of chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 3 large egg whites until thoroughly combined and no dry streaks remain.
  3. Gently pour the cake batter into the center of the chocolate pudding mixture in the slow cooker. Do not stir.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
  5. Let the cake cool slightly in the slow cooker before serving. Top with your favorite low-fat ice cream or whipped cream for an extra delicious treat!
