OK, following on from my last post, I need to have something that I can whip up which will satisfy my cravings for something sweet/chocolatey/nice, but still be legal in terms of carb content. I just found this recipe posted on the low-carb message board I frequent, and plan to gather the ingredients and try it as soon as possible. I'm thinking it just might be what I've been looking for!
Three Minute Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1/4 cup almond flour (1 ounce)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated Splenda
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
How to Prepare:
Mix the almond flour, cocoa, baking powder and Splenda in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Stir in the butter, water, egg and extract. Mix well with a spoon or fork. Scrape batter down evenly with a rubber spatula. Pour into a microwaveable glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap, cutting a small slit in center to vent. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute 20 seconds. Cool slightly and serve warm topped with heavy whipping cream.
The carb count is 4.5 carbs for the whole thing, 2.25 per serving.
3 drops almond extract (optional) (could also use 3 drops of peppermint extract)
