Notes
The recipe yields 2 generous portions at 3.9 g net carbs each.
Chocolate glaze: Melt 2 squares of chocolate and 1 teaspoon of butter or cream or coconut oil in the microwave. Do this slowly and gently so the chocolate does not overheat and seize. The ratio should be 3 parts chocolate and 1 part butter/fat. Wait until it has cooled to lukewarm for a thicker texture. Then, drizzle it over the cake.
You can also use sugar free chocolate chips inside the cake.
