This chocolate cake is made with store-bought mix, but thanks to the grated zucchini and applesauce, it's incredibly moist and requires no soaking. You won't even notice the zucchini, enjoying the rich chocolate flavor. Serve the cake dusted with powdered sugar and cocoa powder, topped with a dollop of airy chocolate mousse.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the bottom of a 9x13 inch (22x32 cm) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Cake:

Place the grated zucchini in a sieve set over a bowl and press lightly with a spatula to release the liquid.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cinnamon, eggs, egg whites, low-fat yogurt, and applesauce. Mix with a mixer on low speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently. Stir in the grated zucchini. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a large plate or platter and cut it into 12 large squares with a clean, sharp knife.
Mousse topping:

While the cake is baking, combine the tofu, pudding mixture, and cinnamon in a bowl. Beat with a mixer on high speed for 2 minutes. Add the whipped topping, mixing on low speed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Before serving, cut each cake square in half diagonally to form 2 triangles.
Drizzle each plate with chocolate sauce, place on 2 cake triangles, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and cocoa powder, and top with chocolate mousse.
