100g ground almonds
25g melted butter

Does this mean 100 grams of ground almonds?

and 25 grams of melted butter?

What are these equal to, ounce wise?

Thanks!

Lazaress, the 'ounce' version of this recipe is in an earlier message. Just keep backing up in the thread until you find it. Enjoy!

I have tried the lemon curd twice but I don't like the taste of the one I made. I do love lemon curd. The only thing I can figure out what is going wrong, is that I used Somersweet as the sweetner. The only artificial sweetner I can stand. It might work better just to use sugar but then it defeats the low carb idea.

28.34 grams in one ounce by dry weight (that is, 1/16th of a pound).

So a 'scant' 1 ounce of the butter, approx 1/16th of a 1-pound bar, and about 3.5 ounces of the almonds/ground.

Oooooohhhh ... This looks GOOD! Gonna make it sometime early next week.

I like the pudding/whipped topping idea for topping. I'll also be trying the lemon curd, just for kicks.

Thanks for the recipe and all of the ideas/variations all!

LOL!! Me too! I need to know how to make almond flour!! Can someone help me?

You can make almond flour by finely grinding almonds in a coffee grinder (that hasn't been used for coffee or strong spices) or in a food processor. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't turn into almond butter. However, I buy Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour at a health food store as it is easier and is more consistent product. They also have it available on Bob's Red Mill website. Hope this helped.

I LOVE this cake. I don't make it too often, as it's just that good. I'd be having it all the time. But I add a little bit of banana extract to it, use liquid splenda instead of packets and then put a 1/4 cup of breyers low carb vanilla ice cream on top while the cake is still hot. Makes an AWESOME twice-a-month dessert.

Azure, where did you get the liquid Splenda??? (Or are you talking about DaVinci syrups?)

this just seems too good to be true! i was looking for a birthday treat for myself and stumbled upon this--what luck!!! i think i'll stir in a little cocoa and have a choc. cake, since that is what i usually have on my birthday.

Wow Rob! This recipe seems to have earned you "hero-status"! I've read all the posts and can hardly wait to go give it a try! Looks like so many possibilities too, with the variations. The lemon curd though - it really caught my eye. Always loved lemon-meringue pies - this should be a bite of heaven! Thanks for your efforts!

Where is a good place to buy almonds in bulk?

Just had to say thanks! I made the basic recipe using vanilla, Miracle Sweet (Xylitol - we love that!) and did not use the lemon curd. It was AWESOME We actually had them with some blackberries. Two each was 3 net carbs since I made 8 from the recipe. Next week we are going to add lemon peel and poppy seeds which will add ~.4 to each one, but still a pretty low treat.

Now I have to back and read all of the other variations.

Thanks again,

On page 3 of this thread is a wonderful muffin version. I have made them many of times and thought this deserved a BUMP!!!!
