I have a birthday coming up and I am a sucker for the b-day cake tradition. Does anyone has a cake recipe that is a bit more atkins friendly than the sugar-laden store bought cakes?

Re: Birthday Cake
Here's the Almond Pound cake recipe. I love to have it with berries and whipped cream. I've also thought about making it in a loaf pan or soaking it in some dark rum. It's a really buttery moist cake, and has an awesome almond flavour. I think it would be a pretty forgiving recipe you can play around with the flavours.
1 cup butter
1 cup artificial sweetener --
splenda granular
5 eggs
2 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
-- or divinci carmel syrup
Cream butter and splenda
together in a large mixing
bowl. Add eggs one
at a time, beating after each
one. Add flour and baking
powder a little at a
time until well blended. Add
extracts. Bake in a 9 inch
cake pan.
It's 47g for the whole recipe i get about 9 pieces out of it. . I like to mix sweeteners, i use liquid sugar twin and cut back on the splenda to save on carbs.Jen, 39, F
