Cool Fast Devil's Food Cake

The Low Carb Friends Bulletin Board has some great threads on fast cakes, such as 3-minute Chocolate Cake and 3-Minute Vanilla Cake.

Below is my modification to make a Devil's Food Cake, which has more chocolate and lower calories (by replacing butter with sour cream) than the original 3-minute chocolate cake.

Ingredients

2 T Almond Flour
2 T Whey Protein Isolate
2 T Cocoa Powder
1/2 t Baking Powder
5 packets of Splenda (or No-Carb stevia powder to cut carbs)

1/2 T Melted Butter
2 T Sour Cream
1 Egg

In a 2 cup Pyrex glass container, blend all dry ingredients. Add sour cream, melted butter and egg, then mix throughly. Cover with glass lid (vented) or plastic wrap with a slit cut in center for venting. Microwave on high for about 70 seconds. The cake should look a slightly wet when it comes from the microwave; it will dry as it cools. This makes 2 servings.

If you don't have whey protein isolate, it can be replaced with more almond flour or with soy flour, Atkins or Carbsense bake mix. If you like a richer cake, more butter can be used. The cake is also very good with coconut or nuts added to the batter or when iced with a sugarfree icing. This tastes and looks like a "real" devil's food cake!
