NY2ATL's LOW CARB RECIPES
LOW CARB SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CAKE
I modified an easy brownie recipe to create this cake. It came out well except for the frosting. It was a litle stiff. I'd try it with regular cream cheese spread or add a little smart balance light to it for texture.
The recipe that follows is as I made it, flawed frosting and all. I used special dark cocoa but natural cocoa will do just as well.
If you try it let me know how it turned out. If you can improve on it, please post your version.
