It is good after cooling, but it will rock your world after chilling overnight.

Hmmm I'm not sure what I did wrong but mine came out a bit salty     I've looked back on the recipe to see what I might have done and the only thing I can think of is that I used butter instead of the butter flavored Crisco.  Of course it was salted butter too....LOL  "Face plant"  I should have been thinking and reduced the salt in the recipe.      If you are going to try this be careful.....  It was good enough to warrent a retry but sadly this one went in the trash

Poor Toosweet

It's ok....I probably didn't need it anyway     I was just jonesin for something Ooey Gooey   

[owensmath]

I used salted butter and it wAs fine.

Hmmm I don't know why mine was so salty then....I'm sure it was operator error....LOL  I bet I doubled up on the salt and didn't realize    I can tell it will be wonderful once I get it sorted out.  The topping is wonderful, it's just the bottom crust is way to salty    I'll try it again once I get more ingredients in the house. 

I was thinking this would be really good with maybe lemon flavoring to replace the vanilla....or topped with strawberries....Oh yummm 

[umpa]

I thought chocolate toosweet

[shawn116]

Funny you say that Umpa....I sprinkled sugar free chocolate chips on mine...really makes me sad that the crust came out so salty     Like I said though...the top is yummy

[umpa]

I like a lot of flavor!  My favorite bar cookie is still the Magic Bars I did in ask umpa.Well, the lemon squares were pretty good too but better with the Zero no tummy issues

[shawn116]

better with the Zero no tummy issues

That is what I love also!!     I have to watch out though...I have to have more self control with portions now 

[umpa]

Mine came out salty as well. Used the amount called for, with unsalted butter. I wonder if it depends on the kind of salt used? I use sea salt.

I think I will be making it again only use 1/8 or 1/4th teaspoon.

Omit the salt

Umpa, I want to try this cake, because the other two I tried are awful, the chocolate cake came out bitter and floury tasting, and another one I tried came out eggy :\ so now, because of the two nasty cakes I made, I'm low on ingredients and can't afford to get more right now, can I sub the almond flour for coconut flour? And how much would I use if I do? Also, can I sub the zero for erythritol? And if so, how much would I use? I don't have Zero and my ez sweetz is gone, and I don't have enough almond to make 2 cups, all I have is coconut flour...thanks in advance! I'm excited to try it
