I just came across this low carb simple chocolate cake recipe today on a low carb recipe website. I tried it (twice in one afternoon!!) and LOVE it! This will satify my chocolate cravings… and it has only 5-10g for a BIG serving!!
3 Minute Chocolate Carmel Flax Cake for One
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons melted butter (0 carbs)
1/4 cup Ground Flax Meal (5g carb, almost all fiber- check the packaging)
1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (2 carbs)
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder (1 carb)
2 tablespoons liquid sweetner or Davinci’s Carmel Sugar free Syrup (0- ? carbs)
1 Egg (0)
How To Prepare:
Melt butter in a small microwave safe dish, mine was about 2 1/2 inches x 5 inches and about 1 inch deep. Mix in all ingredients and microwave for 1 minute in the same dish.
Let cool slightly and enjoy.
Good with ice cream, whipped topping or plain yogurt.
The first time I used the Davinci’s Carmel Syrup, but I thought that the flavor was not noticable enough. So in the next round, I used liquid splenda (I actually used only 1 tbsp). I also doubled the cocoa because I love rich chocolately things.
You can test it out a vary the ingredients to your liking!
If anyone doesn’t have liquid splenda or sugar free syrups, then I would try mixing a few tablespoons of Splenda into two tablespoons of water (the liquid from these 2 tablespoons is necessary).
