Low Carb Rich Chocolate Cake
"This was created by Barb Goldstein from a low carb site. It is very rich and chocolatey and would make a special treat for Valentine's day. The main sweetener is splenda and not sugar, and it contains no flour. If you can spare the carbs, top with whipped cream and berries."

A little salty and after taste of splenda was a little overpowering. I think maybe a different sweetner. You may be able to use this as a topper of some sort. -
I agree with Sausage on this cake. It was very salty tasting and I won't be making it again. Someone told me that Dutch chocolate will help prevent this... I used unsalted butter and figured I was o.k. but that was not so.

Followed the directions and used all the ingredients called for, but the taste was terrible. It had a nice crust and the aroma was to die for but that was all there was. It had a salty after-taste.
