Delicious Low Carb Chocolate Cake YuMmMyyy!!

[Happy2bthin4me]

I have everything to make this...on my way to the kitchen now. Monthly chocolate cravings strike again! Oh and I'm using chocolate SF Torani syrup instead of coffee flavored. I can't wait!

I just can't figure out why my heavy cream shows that many carbs. UGH baffling. I may write them. I can't afford right now to buy another! BLAH

Hi,TabyTaby!

Clearly, the packager put something in that heavy cream that has carbs.

As I said earlier, our Fred Meyer (aka Kroger) store brand has 0 carbs.
Check your area for an affiliate Kroger store.
Look at the bottom of this page for their family of stores (the list scrolls sideways);

If there are no Kroger stores, just watch your grocer shelves for store store brands.
There are bound to me more that have 0 carbs.

Thanks Tony...no we have Krogers...I live at our Signature Kroger I'm just mad I wasted my money on the one I have. I thought it said 1 carb per 2Tbspn, but it actually says 1 carb per ONE tablespoon! Even worse :\

Keep shopping Tabytaby 

[TabyTaby]

Sure will! HA!

Sure will! HA!

You'll know you've got the right one when you see 4 carbs for the ENTIRE container (serving)!

One other thing, TabyTaby...

I discovered that mixing in a tablespoon of chia seeds into Kroger LC yogurt and allowing it to sit covered overnight, will make some yummy, tapioca-like puddings!

And the added omega-3 fatty acids and fiber is good for you, too!
And chia seeds have 0 net carbs, to boot!

For whatever reason, our Kroger doesn't carry CarbMaster yogurt anymore...neither of them do, but that's okay because I think it has gelatin in it anyhow and gelatin's not vegetarian, so I can do that same trick with my yogurt...THANKS TONY! I have some chia seeds I haven't dipped into yet

I made the choc cake but I think I did something wrong or something was wrong with one of my ingredients. It didn't rise much and it was super salty. I think I need  new baking powder and soda. I double checked that I measured correctly so I don't know! Sigh. What a waste! I had to throw it out it was unbearable. Too bad I'd already frosted it before trying it. :-( ill replace my baking staples and see if that helps.

Always taste the batter prior to baking... super salty, that's interesting :-! This cake always turns out perfect... what do you think went amiss here Umpa?

Bitter usually means Baking soda went bad.Chocolate needs salt to bring out  the chocolate flavor.

SOOOOO I tried whipping the heavy whipping cream. NO GO. It never, ever thickened. Never. Ever. I used an electric hand mixer with the beaters...would not thickened. It was chilled. Still soupy...and everything I've read on every website says all heavy whipping cream has at least 1 carb per TBS...so now I don't trust it. I'm making a frosting with veggie shortening and trying that with a few other things. BLAH.

[Happy2bthin4me]

I wouldn't be surprised, I actually have no idea how old my baking soda is...that's a bad sign huh? Lol. I'll replace that ASAP! Otherwise the texture and look and mouth feel was amazing. I bet my family would've loved it. I will try again!

TabyTaby,

I get my heavy cream from Walmart it's called Great Value brand and its so thick and rich, I love it! Do you have one of those near you? I buy two quarts of it for about $3.59 each whenever I get to stop by Walmart. Otherwise i make do with the local store brand (Sunnyside Farms I think it's called?) and it's not as rich and thick and doesn't whip like the other brand. I live 50 miles from the nearest Walmart though so I try to stock up whenever I manage to get there.
