Recipe Keys
Very Low Carb (VLC): These are very low carb. My Very Low Carb Flour Mix has like a dozen carbs per cup!
Family-Friendly (FF): Super family-friendly. I don’t think any child or adult would know that these are made with Very Low Carb Flour Mix and sugar-free sweetener.
Store-Bought-Stella (SBS): Lots of ingredients but really not hard to mix up. You can buy a premade low carb baking mix to use in my recipes calling for Very Low Carb Flour Mix, if desired.
Homemade Hannah (HH): Homemade chocolate cake….ahhh…
Freezer Cooking (FC): These freeze fine. I keep them in my freezer to grab when I have a chocolate cookie craving and candy will not fill it!
Trim Healthy Mama-Friendly (THM) (www.trimhealthymama.com): This is an S cake. I suppose it could move into E territory by using half Very Low Carb Flour Mix and half Oat Fiber (no carbs, no fat) and by using almond milk, fat free yogurt, and omitting the butter. Let me know if you try this!
Sugar Free (SF): Of course, you will want to use unsweetened cocoa, but this is very sugar-free.
Gluten-Free (GF): Yes! My Very Low Carb Flour Mix is gluten free!
I’d like to know what you used for the fancy stuff on top. I want to make a cake that looks like that with creamy stuff and chocolate frosting in the picture. Do you have those recipes available. Looks delicious!
On the cake, it has a layer of white cream cheese frosting and a layer of chocolate cream cheese frosting. (It is a version of Ho Ho Cake!) On the cupcakes, it is one of my Cream Cheese Frosting. Here is the recipe for those frostings. Happy baking! https://donnareish.com/five-sugar-free-cream-cheese-frostings/
Thanks so much!
Hi Donna
Loved your flour and chocolate muffin recipe best cake mixture I’ve tried in last year of being on a low carb diet. Looking forward experimenting with flour. One question for you although cake crumb was soft and beautiful muffins did develop quite a hard crust on top. Is this normal and do you know of anything I can change to avoid this? Many thanks
