I made cornbread the other day again.  The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of
milk.  I mixed 2 servings of whey protein (40g) into the milk before I mixed
it into the recipe.  There was no real difference in the results - tasted
great.  And of course I used Splenda instead of sugar and this time
applesauce (instead of pumpkin puree) to replace the oil.  The resulting
recipe has 130 calories per piece and 10g of protein.  Also has some fiber.

Hey, this is fun!  If anyone can reccommend a recipe for brownies from
scratch, that'd be great too.

Not exactly brownies .. but just as good!
A low carb friend sent this to me.

Velvet Chocolate Cake
 
Makes 1 eight-inch cake; serves 10 to 12

 
10  tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted margarine, cut into chunks, plus more
for pan
1  pound unsweetened bakers chocolate, coarsely chopped
 1 cup splenda plus 1TBSP  
5   extra-large eggs, separated
 
   
 
 1.  Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat an 8-by-3-inch round cake pan with
margarine, and line bottom with a round of parchment paper; set aside.
 
 2.  In a heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler set over a pan of
simmering water, melt the chocolate with the margarine and 1 cup of Splenda,
stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove bowl from pan of water, and let
mixture cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time, beating well after
each addition.  
 
 3.  In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat
egg whites on high speed to soft peaks. With machine running, slowly add 1 TBSP
Splenda, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Stir about one-quarter of the
whites into chocolate base to lighten it. Gently but thoroughly fold in
remaining whites until thoroughly combined.
 
 4.  Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Place in a roasting pan, and pour hot
water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cake pan. Carefully
transfer to oven, and bake until top of the cake is just set in the center,
about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then transfer to
refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.  
 
 5.  Run a paring knife around edges of cake to release from pan, and unmold
(if the cake doesn’t come out of pan, briefly dip bottom of cake pan in warm
water; do not leave in water too long, or cake will melt). Invert cake onto
serving platter.  Serve in very thin slices.

Anyway .. if you can use it cool ... if you can't .. that's too bad.

Interesting...it's not a cake, it's pudding really.

But sorry, margerine isn't allowed in my house.

No, It's a cake, not pudding at all.  It has the taste, texture, and body of a
cake.

oh .. that's strange, when you said that I thought, I don't use margarine!  I
went back and looked at the rec and saw that it does say margarine!  I use
unsalted butter.  I guess I'm so used to substituting it, that I didn't even
notice. Sorry.

aroused. : )

No problemo, Kat. I'm used to replacing it in some recipes myself. I do love
the quote I used from Julia, though. She's in her 90s, was a revolutionary
(she started TV chefs' programs) and has been promoting using butter and
cream her whole career. And where are those who said margarine was the
saviour? Probably passed on. : )

It's amazing how many people still think marge is lower in calories
than butter.
