Best Flour-less Chocolate Mug Cake I've tried

[Rena]

Thanks, Doug. I'll give it a try sometime. Not tonight, though. I'm itchin' to be able to change my ticker!

Check the label on your cocoa Rena.  I use Frye's cocoa and it is 0 carbs.  The store brand NoName has carbs, they must have fillers in it.

Does it really require 10 packets of Splenda?  Yikes!
I have Stevia in packets, do I need that many?  Really?

[ausgirl]

Ok, I made this tonight and used Stevia instead - 4 pks.
Let me tell you it was AWFUL.
I only had no name cocoa (it had carbs, but I had enough to spare), and it was so overpoweringly bitter and had that yukky fake sugary taste....

Perhaps it was just the Stevia, I followed everything the same as everyone else appears to have.

Oh dear......I had to throw it out!

I just dont like the MIM I have tried and tried  any of the things that you make in the micro . I think unless I make Umpas cakes they just are not gonna do it . Try Umpas PB cookies they are veryyyyyyyyyyyyy good ! I am making some next week when I get my xylitol. No sugar alcohols in them .

[ausgirl]

Oh Jo, it was AWFUL!

[ShihTzuMom1]

Xylitol is better for baking.

I'll have to get some and try it again maybe....I really needed something sweet and after your post yesterday really wanted to try it....sometimes you just shouldn't digress from the original recipe eh?

I still haven't tried it, but thanks for the tip, ShihTizuMom. Right now we only have Splenda and I use that sparingly. We bought a big box at Costco a long time before starting FTS and I wanted to use most of it up before buying something new. I'll give this recipe a try sometime, though.

I do like the One-Minute Muffin mix with chocolate syrup in it, which to me, is pretty cake-like.

[ShihTzuMom1]

Yes it is good with the 5 tsp. of xylitol.  I made it in my 2 cup pyrex measuring cup (I used a coffee mug the first time and it overflowed and made a big mess).  I microwaved it for 1 1/2 minutes.  I used Fry's Cocoa and it was 0 net carbs.

[Maddysmom]

I ran back across this recipe tonight and had forgotten how good it is.  I thought I'd post to put this back up as current so some of the new folks could try it.  Be sure to us a HUGE coffe cup or a small pyrex dish.  Mine kinda ran over the top during cooking.  SOOO good!

[umpa]
