Low Carb Coffee Laced Chocolate Cake.  No, not a coffeecake,  a low carb coffee laced chocolate cake with a coffee whipped cream icing.  I made a high carby version of this cake for many years but that all stopped abruptly when 9½ years ago I was handed the diagnosis of diabetes and life was suspended…for about a day.  I am so lucky to have worked in kitchens all over the country and coupled with my (at the time) knowledge of what the Atkins Diet had been back in the 70’s (I lived it) I have been able to pull this website together with over 550 Keto~Paleo~Low Carb~Diabetic Chef’s Recipes.  I have mostly chosen to concentrate on things not related to desserts but this cake is so good and so easy I have decided to post it and yes, I do have other desserts and here are just three:  Pecan Sandy Bars,  Cinnamon Flan, and Butter Pecan Mousse which actually tastes exactly like the ice cream of the same name.

Anyway, I digress.  This is a super easy cake to make assuming you have the ingredients.  I used to make this in round pans with the frosting in between split layers but again, for ease I have put it into a square pan and only frosted the top. You may do it as you wish.

I want to take a minute to remind you that if you are going to do much baking, it is important to use professional pans.  I use the pan sizes listed here and they are one of the best kitchen and baking investments you will ever make. If, you decide to test some of the baked items on this site by making a ½ recipe here is a little trick and um yes, I do it all the time.  Example: If a recipe calls for a 10”x10” Pan which has 100sq” then the half pan would be the 7”x7” at 49sq”
