Low Carb Flourless Chocolate Torte image

DO NOT MAKE THAT FACE!!! Trust me. I made that EWWWW face for over a year before I tried this. THIS CAKE MUST SIT OVERNIGHT!! Then it will me moist and dense. In fact, I made the cake and tried it fresh out of the oven. It was dry and yuck! I was so disappointed because I was looking for good cake for my baby's birthday. I had to go to work that night, but told my brother. "There is some chocolate cake in the microwave if you want some. But, it is not very good." Well, I got home the next morning around 11am. (did a shift an a half) and I was tired and hungry. I didn't feel like cooking anything and thought I would grab a piece of the cake. It was all gone!! So, I asked about it. He said that he had put a piece in Jenni's lunch and that he and our neighbor had eaten the rest of it over a pot of coffee. He said it was really good! Hmmmm. So, I made it again a week or so later and had some the next day. It was really good. ANYWAYS: to make a long story short, this cake MUST SIT OVERNIGHT. I used the recipe to make cupcakes for my little girl to take to school for any holiday or party. The kids loved them!!

  • FROSTING: Blend cream cheese, Ideal Sweetener (or Splenda) heavy cream (start with 1/2 a cup and add til you have the consistency that you like. I usually use about 3/4 of a cup) and vanilla until smooth. Spread on top of cakes or cup cakes. Can add food coloring to suit the situation. (Blue for boys, pink for girls birthdays.
