Sweeteners

Sure thing! I follow this recipe: http://low-carb-support.com/chocolate-cake-lowcarb-gluten-free/
I omit the chopped walnuts, so I use 200g of almond flour.
This is my latest attempt at it. Still some work to do to get it perfect, but I'm pretty happy at the way it came out!
 
I bake quite a lot and I can tell you its impossible to make a nice, low carb meringue. Sugar gives a textures (that crunchiness ) and there isn't any sweetener that can replace it Im afraid. Ive tried everything. The best result was with xylitol but it wasn't a typical meringue. Just a soft, cloud like kind of sponge.

The best for baking is xylitol, in most cakes Splenda is ok too. It doesn't have aftertaste like Stevia (which is good and natural but I hate the taste)
