Have your cake and stay slim, too.
Have your cake and stay slim too? You bet -- at least when said cake is made with a superfood. Even more so when that superfood is dark chocolate,
right? Not only are these warm chocolate cakes amazingly delicious,
this recipe also sneaks three other superfoods in the mix -- coffee, eggs, and yogurt.
The result is a mouthwatering, craving-sating chocolate cake -- with a
divine cream sauce to boot. And since it has less than 150 calories per
serving plus four grams of protein and age-fighting antioxidants, you
can feel good about eating every last bite. Dessert is served!

- 1/3 cup 2 percent milk
- 10 teaspoons sugar, divided
- 1 piece vanilla bean (1 inch long)
- 4 teaspoons brewed coffee

- 2 oz chopped dark chocolate
