Karen'??s Corner: Sugarless Chocolate Cake

by Karen D. Fyke

 Husband Jim has long been on a sugar-free diet, and it’s a challenge to find yummy desserts that are truly sugar free. This cake is sweetened with saccharin and is more like a chocolate bread, but with a spread of cream cheese, it’s great.

1 envelope active dry yeast
½ C lukewarm water
3 eggs
½ C milk
1/3 C softened margarine
7 tsp. liquid, no-sugar substitute (equivalent of 1¼ C sugar)
½ C cocoa
2½ C sifted flour
3 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
2 t vanilla
½ t almond extract (optional)

In a bowl mix yeast and water until yeast is dissolved.

Stir in ggs, milk, margarine and sugar substitute.

Add sifted dry ingredients nd flavorings. Beat until batter is smooth.
Pour in a greased 1 ½ quart glass ovenware bowl. Sprinkle with /3 C slivered almonds (optional).
