Hi @DebandezShelley I'm having a couple of friends around for dinner Thursday and might just attempt this cake. Can you give me the recipe or share the link if you get time please? Thanks
No worries it is below. Main thing we do differently is swap the sugar for erythritol on a gram for gram basis. In addition @fter a tip off from @maglil55 every low carb cake I do I alter method slightly by seperating the eggs - whisking egg whites to soft peaks and putting them to one side. Adding egg yolks when it says add the eggs and folding in egg whites at end it lightens them all. It works out at 18g carb per whole cake but it’s a big one and you don’t need much it’s very rich. Needs serving with double cream we feel and I often serve strawberries and raspberries with it too. If it’s for a dinner party I also grind some erythritol to make it look like icing sugar powder and sprinkle on the top they will never know it’s low carb!
When doing for us at home I tend to divide mix into two small loaf tins and freeze one of them. Itworks well and as often cut into about 10 slices slightly less than 1g per small slice.......

Hope you enjoy your dinner with friends
Edit obviously carb count is for ground almond version! Flour alternative not recommended
