Рецепт Clean Eating Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Crazy Cake
I don’t make cake very often. It’s just not a dessert that I usually go for. I’ll take ice cream or cookies any day over cake. I think it’s a lingering memory of that really sickeningly sweet frosting that all commercial cakes seem to be slathered in. In fact, the frosting on those cakes is sometimes almost as thick as the cake itself! Some people love it, but it just makes my teeth ache.
I haven’t had a regular, store-bought piece of cake in ages and chances are I may never have it again. Even for a special occasion. However, a clean cake that is truly tasty and not so awfully sweet that it will keep me awake into next week…. that’s a different story.
While I’m trying to stick to low carb eating, I’m also testing out some cake recipes for Mini Chef’s upcoming birthday party. I wanted something that was clean, but also something that everyone would enjoy. Not always an easy thing to do when some people are accustomed to store-bought cake.
But I think I found a good middle ground with this one. It’s soft and a little spongy like regular cake is. It’s also a bit on the dense side almost like a brownie consistency. It’s delicious and I think our party guests will enjoy this with a little homemade ice cream.
Now all I have to do is pick a frosting recipe or create a new one just for this cake….
