wanted to eat to much while it was still warm

I'll use this recipe often especially when making low carb trifles at holiday time. I might try almond flavoring in the next one.

CarbQuik is a fantastic product! I made a 1/2 recipe in a loaf pan. It came out about 2 1/2 inches high, with good color, dense and smooth texture. I think that the cream cheese makes the difference. I served with Berries and whipped topping and it's to die for! I give it a 9 only because it was "just short of heaven"!

The carb count on this is way off!
|

The carbquick alone has 45 carbs...splenda another 36...that's 81 carbs not counting anything else...with 16 servings its over 5 carbs. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that it really isn't one carb...

My mother is an underweight diabetic. I discovered Carbquik on the internet and thought I would give it a try. She needs to watch her carbs but loves her sweets. I used high calorie ingredients such as unsalted butter and full fat cream cheese. She has gone thru 2 cakes in 1 week so I tried to do a chocolate version of it. I added one small box of sugar free chocolate pudding mix and added 1 extra egg because the batter looked to thick. It had a "somewhat salty" taste to it but she didn't notice it. I think that next time I will try 3 cups of the carbquik and 1/2 cup of coconut flour to cut down on the salt take. I also would probably try adding extra splenda to offset it. I am going to try this in orange and lemon also and see how they turn on.

great taste but watch the bake time
|
|
Cons:

really none at all
|

I would cut down on the bake time. Try testing it around 10 minutes before the actual bake time stated. I have noticed that by using splenda that the goods seem to bake quicker. I have found this to be true when baking banana bread, muffins, etc with splenda.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
very easy to make - one bowl and pan
|
|
Cons:
|
can taste the carbquick
|
|
The carb count is 21 net Carbquick, 6 eggs, 35,25 splenda, 16.7 cream cheese which totals 78.95 or 4.93 if you do 16 servings.
I cut the recipe in half for fear of wasting ingredients. But I'm sorry I did bc it was FANTASTIC! I added a tsp of lemon extract (which is half my normal lemon pound cake recipe. I only had to bake for 30 mins.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Low carbs and filling portion size
|
|
Cons:
|
a little dry - needs whipped cream and berries
|
|
Mine tasted a little like a sweet bisquit rather than a pound cake, but with whipped cream and berries that was just fine.
I worked out the nutrition information on Fitday.com and it was just over 1g net carb (like 1.14565g or something) for 1/16 of the cake. I used a light butter and real butter combo and Neufchatel cheese (which is maybe why it was a little dry) to lower the calories to the 100s and keep the fat close to 10g per slice. I also used liquid Splenda, otherwise the net carbs would have been over 2g or 3g per slice. I baked it the full 55 mins, but checked it at 35 like one suggestion said. The toothpick came out wet a 35.

So yummy and tasty, we had it with fresh fruit and whipped topping. Great plain, with butter, with preserves, with ice cream......you get my drift.
