Flourless Chocolate Cake

Lass Chance said:

for those not triggered by cake substitutes!

This has a texture similar to cake-type brownies, tastes fabulous and
smells SO good baking.

Ingredients
7 oz swmi-sweet Chocolate chips
3/4 stick Butter
2 eggs
1½ cups Almond meal
¼ cup Splenda

Method
Preheat oven to moderate - approx 180°C (355°F) Brush 8" round cake
tin with oil. or spray with PAM.
Place chocolate and butter in bowl; stand over pan of simmering water
until mixture is smooth.
Allow to cool slightly. Beat eggs and Splenda in a mixing bowl for 6
minutes. The mixture should be thick and pale. In portions, alternately,
*GENTLY fold chocolate mix and almond meal into the egg mixture; spoon
into the tin and bake for 25 minutes. Cool in tin for 10 minutes turn on
to a wire cooler. Dust with cocoa and/or Splenda, or top with whipped
cream.

* remember the eggs are what will give the 'rise"---so BE CAREFUL not to
break them down while folding in the chocolate and almond flour.
GENTLY!!!

Isn't there quite a bit of carbs in the semi-sweet chocolate? Why not
use unsweetened?

This is one the simplest desserts to make, nice and dense, makes 2
servings at around 6 grams carbs per serving.

Ingredients:
1/4C Almond flour
2 T Cocoa Powder
1/4 t Baking Powder
5 packets of Splenda 5 (3 T + 1 t)
2 T Melted Butter(or sour cream or Virgin coconut oil) I use olive oil
and it works just fine.
1 T Water (or DaVinci's Syrup- any flavor-Hazlenut is great!)
1 Egg

Cooking Instructions:

Mix everything in a 2 cup glass measuring Pyrex and cover with plastic
wrap. Cut a small slit in the center of the wrap to vent. Pop in the
microwave for 1-3 minutes max(check consistency after 1 min,, should
look dryish). No greasing of the Pyrex cup is needed. Mine plopped
right out. Let cool completely or eat it hot!

Serving Suggestions:
Serve topped with a cream cheese icing or a dollop of heavy cream
whipped.

Enjoy! This cake is super easy and super yummy! 6 carbs for the entire
recipe

I've also tweaked this and made it a Chocolate coconut one by adding in
2-3 tablespoons of shredded unsweetened coconut.

Try using Ross SF Dark chocolate bars instead of the chocolate chips.
You'll save a lot of carbs.
Atkins has a recipe in one of their cookbooks that has more eggs and no
almond flour. It's very dense and very much like brownies. :-)

These all sound very good!

I recently ran across a recipe for fudge (not brownies) using a couple of
prunes with cocoa, etc...if anyone is interested I will try to dig that up.

Sounds good, but at a whopping 500+ calories, you might want to only
have HALF of it at a time.

This is good too, with the obvious substitution.

Well by golly, I guess they WERE brownies! Anyway - here's the recipe
(which I haven't yet tried):

1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder (8g)
4 oz. jar prunes (32g)
3 egg whites (0)
1 c. Splenda (24g)
1 t. salt (0)
1 t. vanilla (0)
1/2 c. almond flour (2g)
1/4 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking
pan with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients. Add nuts
if desired. Bake about 30 minutes or until springy to touch.
Cool on rack, and cut into 16 pieces.

JC, the 3 minute "cake" does not make me fat and I have never been fat.
I'm a diabetic and don't have the "carb cravings" some other folks
suffer from.

Why do you bother with JC. Don't you know he is mentally challenged and
will never leave. He has been here for years saying the same things over
and over again. His IQ is around 60.
