I just made this recipe for my dads Birthday party yesterday      It's is sooo good!!  

Instead of using the icing recipe I put homemade whipped cream and and few crushed sugar free oreo cookies.  Before anyone panics.....I only used the cookie part (4 sides) from just two cookies crushed up for the whole cake.  Yummmmmmm

This was soo good    I also made a lemon poppy seed bundt cake that was surprisingly really good.  I'll share the recipe once I perfect the glaze for the top.

Who doesn't love chocolate?

Umpa...I know you're good at this so I'll ask! Is there anything I could substitute the cream cheese for in the frosting? I can't have cream cheese...makes me sick. Also, I hate coffee and coffee flavored anything...is the syrup you're talking about coffee flavored? What could I sub with it? And I'm guessing it was sugar free right? So I'm getting the whole cake carb count as 25...is that right?

[shawn116]

Hi Taby  the picture of the cake I posted doesn't have the cream cheese frosting on it (my dad doesn't like cream cheese).  I just used homemade whipped cream on top...very good    I am presently working on perfecting a good sugar free buttercream frosting.  I'll post if I ever get it good enough to share  Haha   Any time you see a recipe that calls for coffee flavored syrup you can always replace that with whatever flavor you like best.  It's like changing out vanilla extract for lemon extract....The only thing it will change is the original flavor of the product.

Thanks TOOsweet and Umpa, Toosweet...how do you make homemade whipped cream?

[shawn116]

Umpa you are too sweet     

Taby to make homemade whipped cream

1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoon equivalent sweetener (3-6 drops of FTS Zero) or to taste 

It helps to start with a chilled mixing bowl as well.  mix all together on medium to high with mixer until stiff.  Easy peasy....yumm!  Much better than the stuff in the can.  You can flavor it how you like too
