I ended up keeping the two cakes in a tin for two days until I was ready to use them as rain prevented play as planned on day one, then I made up the frosting and added just a mere touch of expresso powder to bring out the choc flavour. The result, so moist, it cooked perfectly. It was in the oven and baked in under half an hour. So I wish I could upload a picture of this impossibly simple choc cake….I made it so quickly I couldnt believe it, no fat and no flour? I doubled the recipe and made two cakes, using ready made liners for ease. It’s most definitely not low carb with the frosting and most people won’t do research on nutrition and will just read the title and believe it as is. It’s extremely misleading that the cake, as pictured, is low carb. I do advise maybe Katie take new photos of the cake, sans frosting. I worked at a fairly prominent bakery while in college so I like to think I’m a pretty good baker…and this just didn’t wow me like the reviews claim. ![]() As far as the frosting goes, it was grainy made with erythritol. ![]() This would not be a low carb option for anyone actually following Keto/Low carb diets. ![]() The bag has 113 servings at 4g carbohydrates per serving (452 per bag divided by 8 slices). For the frosting/cake, the carbs from erythritol ALONE are over 56 per slice (8 piece serving size cake). For the frosting I only used 1.5 cups vs. Between the cake and the frosting, I used an entire bag of erythritol. If you’re making this cake to be low carb, I would strongly discourage using her recommended frosting recipe.
