it is my birthday on Monday and I would really like to make a low carb cake so that I can eat some of it. I have looked through the recipes on here but can't find anything.
I am looking for a simple cake preferably chocolate. Does anyone have a good (and easy!) recipe?

Cant believe that you didnt find anything? Or you could try making an orange cake, fill it with a chocolate ganache, serve with a dollop of cream, I made this for someones birthday last week, was enjoyed by everyone. Let me know if you would like to have the recipe.

I found this recipe in The Ultimate Diabetic Cook Book
Chocolate and Prune cake
300gms/11oz dark chocolate
150gms/5oz low fat spread
200gm/7oz ready to eat prunes or dried apricots can be used instead the cake would be less sweet
3 beaten eggs
150gm/5oz Gram flour
2 tsps baking powder
120mls soya milk
Melt the chocolate in a heat proof dish over a pan of hot water
Beat the prunes and spread until light and fluffy....best done in a food processor..turn into a bowl
Mix the baking powder with the flour and then gradually fold in with the chocolate, prune and spread mixture and eggs then beat in the soya milk
Spoon mixture into a greased and base lined cake tin and cook in a preheated oven 180C/350F for about 20 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch
