Sugar Free Yellow Layer Cake With Sugar Free Mountain Berry Filling

4 Comments

Layered Yellow Cake WholeThis week is a holiday week with no class for Jorge Cruise’s 12 Week Belly Fat Cure coaching program due to the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Some of the folks in the 12 week coaching program have elected to use the “free” week as an opportunity to present a recipe exchange on our respective blogs and I was invited to participate in the exchange.

Rather than give my Sugar Free Nanaimo Bars recipe yet another time, I thought maybe I’ll take a crack at something new. Even though my Sugar Free Nanaimo Bars are arguably the most amazing dessert creation I’ve ever made, I’ve posted it several times here on my blog. And since I find desserts to be next to impossible to get Belly Fat Cure compliant versions in a store bought form, I will offer a dessert recipe. Sugar Free entrées and side dishes aren’t so difficult to find and since I don’t consider myself a cook, I usually just get store bought versions of those.

Trying Out Simple Sugar Free Yellow Cake With Frosting

Leave a comment

Yellow Cake With Chocolate FrostingWhen I got invited to a pool party for today, I decided I should make something to take and why not make a sugar free cake? I didn’t want to do something as elaborate as the Black Forest Cake I made for my birthday, so a simple, single layer yellow cake with some frosting would be good.

I found a recipe by doing a google search and didn’t need to run out to the store for any of the ingredients, I already had them all on hand. That was handy. This was a great opportunity to use my KitchenAid Mixer I inherited from my grandmother’s kitchen. The mixer made the making of the cake as well as the frosting quick and easy. I basically just added cocoa powder to the same frosting recipe I used for my Black Forest Cake and the frosting came out great too. I even chopped up some walnuts to sprinkle on top of the cake as well. I got the idea for that from the photo of the cakes that were featured on the label for the foil pans I bought to put the cake in for the party.

The cake was a hit at the party. Once people started cutting pieces out of it, it didn’t last long. One of my friends there, saw me cut a slice out if it and he came over to scold me on it as he knows I’m on a low sugar program and he was convinced the cake was made with sugar. He was pleasantly surprised to find out I made it and told me how he thought he was being bad by having a slice of it. He couldn’t tell it was sugar free. It gave him a good excuse to try another slice. I was quite pleased the cake came out so well. I will definitely have to use it again.

The Almost Sugar Free Black Forest Cake

Leave a comment

Black Forest Cake - Top ViewAs I’ve started to become proficient in making sugar-free alternatives for desserts that are compliant with Jorge Cruise’s Belly Fat Cure program, one of the challenges I’ve had in mind that I wanted to attempt for myself was to make an as close to sugar-free as possible Black Forest cake for my birthday. Not any of the fancy Black Forest cakes made with Cherry liquor or several fancy layers as those to me aren’t Black Forest cakes to me. For me, I tend to like the plain ol’ neighborhood supermarket variety of Black Forest cakes.

The reason I love these kinds of Black Forest cake is because it was always something special my grandmother would get from her local SuperValu Grocery store back in Calgary, Canada when I was a kid. She would do this especially for me when I would come to stay with her or at least that’s what she would tell me. Its not so much that the cake was anything special in itself, just the memories of time with my grandmother where she would make me feel like I was the most important person in the world and we were getting to enjoy a special treat together. I miss my grandmother since she passed away at the end of 2001, so I generally like to celebrate my birthdays with a Black Forest cake to not only celebrate my birthday but to feel like I’m still having a special moment with my grandmother.
