Good morning!
I hope you had a relaxing weekend! My weekend was so enjoyable. I tried out for a play, again!!! Went to Knoxville for errands and shopping, had dinner with friends, church, gym, helped The Salesman organize his office and took some time to rest and connect with family.
To start the week off, I am going to review the Trim Healthy Mama Raspberry Frosted Special Agent Cake.
Who does not like chocolate cake?!? This cake is made without flour and sugar; but it does have a special ingredient that may make your face contort…
You all, this cake is made with black beans!!!
Seriously, black beans.
And even if you don’t like beans, I think you might like this cake. I liked the cake; but for some reason, I did not like the icing. Next time, I think I will try a different recipe for the icing. If you are a fan of a cream cheese based icing, you will probably like the icing recipe. In my opinion, I’ll make the Trimtastic Chocolate Zucchini Cake before making this one again. The Salesman thought it was ok and Victoria Leigh was home, and tried a piece, and gave the same comment as her dad. I did not share the secret ingredient with them…
The recipe is on page 308 of the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook. I used 0% Greek yogurt and did not use the Stevia that was optional. It is a pretty cake and I thought about garnishing it with fresh berries and chocolate shavings; but sliced it to sample first!
Enjoy!
