Recipe Notes
Substitute non-fat Greek yogurt for the light sour cream.The cocoa powder helps create a richer chocolate flavor. Skip it if you want.Use a regular cake mix, but note this adds 20 calories, 3 carbs, and 1 gram of fat per serving.If using a regular cake mix, reduce the water to 1 tablespoon.Try with a yellow cake mix for a more traditional snickerdoodle. No cocoa required.
