While browsing on a forum, I came across a Delia Smith recipe for a Chocolate Cake which uses NO flour. So thought ooooh this could work for a slimming world recipe if I substitute the caster sugar with Splenda.

This recipe has now been updated and slightly improved.

In the oven now - will let you know how it turns out! I only used 1oz of Splenda as it seemed like far too much using 2oz! We'll see whether I end up with a 'sour' cake! Eek!

Made this yesterday...added some chocolate extract aswell, but I didn't really like the taste...think with me & chocolate cake only the real thing will do!

But thanks for the recipe, it was worth a try.

Mine rose beautifully, and it's absolutely amazing. So chocolatey and absolutely yummy. So much nicer than some "real" chocolate cakes I have tasted.
Thank you so much.
I'll be making more to take to the SW party.

Click to expand...

I would say it is probably the cocoa powder acting like a flour.
