This is an amazing desert.....totally satisfies that "I need something sweet" craving....and the 21 carbs...is for the WHOLE brownie.....it makes 8 servings so there are about 2.8 carbs per serving....that rocks!! if you plan well...can even be used in induction. Thanks so much for sharing...I didnt have apple cider vinegar...so I used regular..which is what real red velvet calls for anyway... Had everything on hand..it was quick and easy...
