OK - it isn't a miracle, but it's what I've been using before my
workouts. It gives me the energy to complete the workout, tastes good,
and has just enough carbs to keep my trainer happy. He still isn't
convinced that I should be following a low-carb plan, but he can't
argue with results.

Just wondering, are you making it with artificial sweetener? I saw that
recipe and was thinking at some point trying it, but I don't do fake sugar.
I love pound cake and it sound good with almond flour.

I don't do fake sugar either. Obviously, the cake I make isn't sweet,
but it tastes good enough for the spousal unit to scarf it down.

There is one version on the net that includes cream cheese - that
would probably make it much moister.

Thnaks for the recipe..I made it last night and mmmmm
I varied to suit my tastes... I used liquid splenda for sugar.
I ground my own almonds so the texture wasn't as smooth as flour, I used
1 cup of the ground up almonds, 1/2 cup of ground flax seeds and 1/2 c
coconut. I used 1 T of almond and 1 T of vanilla extract. Oh it feels
so good to bake again, I stopped becasue the bulk splenda adds so many
carbs, now I can have my cake and eat it too ;) and it was plenty sweet.
Next time I might add a bit of cream cheese and maybe some walnuts.
Just can't overdo or make it too often cause its things like this that
are my downfall. Linda
