Instructions: In large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Press brown sugar through sieve; combine with dry ingredients.

Add buttermilk, water, oil and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Scrape into greased 9-inch square baking pan.

Bake in 350 F oven for about 35 minutes or until tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool. Dust with icing sugar (if using). Cut into squares.

NOTES : Tried this one yesterday. It is possible to make a good lowfat chocolate cake. I think you could double the recipe and get two layers, if you wanted a nice layer cake for frosting. The only thing I disagree with is the 20 servings that the recipe states. I would guess probably more like 16. 20 would make pretty tiny pieces. Although maybe thats why its called a "snacking cake"
