something else sweet: CAKE

1 cup butter
1 cup Splenda
5 eggs
2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Beat butter and splenda until light-clolured and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
Mix almond flour with baking powder and add to egg mixture a little at a time while beating.
Add lemon & vanilla extracts.
Pour into greased 9" cake pan and bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.

I've got the whole cake as 48 carbs.
I can easily get 8 large slices from a 9" cake, making it 6 g carbs per slice

varitations:
add 1/4 cup cocoa to the recipe and one white and eliminate the lemon extract for chocolate cake

add pumpkin pie spice and choped nuts for spiced nut cake

add few bananas and walnuts eliminating again the lemon extract

add dried cranberries and blueberries
