16% less calories and 80% less carbs than regular chocolate cake
This really is a recipe that's more than the sum of it's parts, and is a wonderful way to get used to using Sukrin Gold. It's not hard to make, but looks like you have spent ages in the kitchen! Very rich, you don't need much of it for a major chocolate hit. You can serve it warm, but it's at it's best chilled well until set, and then served with ice cream or cream. It will rise up fairly high as it nears the end of it's baking time, but that's fine, it will settle as it cools. Keep an eye on it as it bakes as the long cooking time means it can get a little dark: if you see this happening, cover loosely with foil for the last few minutes.- Prep Time: 20min
