Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Excellent Cons: Not easy to remove cake from pan to divide I don't understand how this can be 8 carbs net per serving, when the recipe says it's 5.5 carbs and 2 g of fibre. Don't you deduct the 2 from the 5.5? Also how do you get it out of the baking dish? Mine sure didn't look like the picture:(

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: Do you know what can I substitute the soy flour with? can i use powdered soy milk? They don't sell soy flour where I live. I'm also on induction ...would it be possible for me to have tiny slices of this recipe or should I avoid it at all? Thank you

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Assembles in less than 5 min-satisfys chocolate cravings! Cons: None. Made last nite-while assembling supper. So fast-so delicious! A perfect size for 2 after a lite meal-really hits the spot! Deep chocolatey smell and flavor. I used almond flour-I made my own from almonds I pulsed in my Cuisinart.Worked like a charm. I freezed unused flour for a later cake! Don't put off this simple & heavenly little gem!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick and yummy! Cons: This one is quick and easy! Choose your flavour by adding more sugar or more cocoa, I don't like my cake very strong, but sweet! I use a whole heap of whipped cream to it, to make it a real treat, quick and "legal" on the diet!

Who knew you could make a tasty, moist cake in the Microwave? Great flavor and texture (I too used almonds ground into powder in my food processor for the flour). I can't wait to put some whip cream and strawberry slices on top and serve to my husband! Thanks so much for the recipie!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Fast, easy, tastes decadent! Cons: The recipe (as written) comes out to 401 Calories; 32g Fat (70.8% calories from fat); 14g Protein; 16g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 249mg Cholesterol; 417mg Sodium for the whole thing (per MasterCook). I never made mine this way; I hate soy, so I use half almond flour, half WPI, among other substitutions.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Wow! Chocolate cake! Cons: I can't wait for my chocolate cake-loving sister to try this one... It felt like I was eating the real thing. I think that I will try the almond flour idea next time, though, because the soy flour left an after-taste.
Sobe203 Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2004 Location: Athens, Ohio Posts: 9	Review Date: Wed July 7, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 4    Positive aspects of the product (pros): It's cake Cons: Not chocolatey enough Have you guys forgotten what real chocolate cake tastes like already? I made two batches of this recipe - one following the recipe as is, and one with a few extra packets of Splenda and an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder (I like a rich, chocolatey cake). Both came out bland, void of flavor. It seems like no matter how much sweetener or cocoa you put in, nothing can save the flavor.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 6    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: needs flavor boost....see below If you add just 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract ,it's just the lift the flavor needs. Vanilla adds so much to chocolate anything. Try it.
	Review Date: Thu July 15, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick and easy to make Cons: as written needs more flavor I played with this a bit and came up with something that I now can't stop eating. Here's what I finished with: I found the soy by itself a bit bland, and the almond by itself too moist (more like a custard) so I split the difference and did 1/8 cup of each. I added a dash(about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp) of Vanilla, and upped the Cocoa Powder to 1 1/2 Tbp. I also can't use Splenda or Aspertame (equal) so I used 4 pkts of sweet-n-low. I'm not sure how much this effects the carb count, but all in all I'm NOW eating this far too much. I make up a batch for breakfast and cut it in quarters to have whenever I need a quick chocolate fix.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick and very easy Cons: None at all I was surprised how quick it was to make. It is more like a brownie than a "cake". I followed the advice of the other posts and tweaked it a bit. Changed to 1/8 cup soy flour & 1/8 cup almond flour (finely ground almonds) and also added 1/2 tsp vanilla. I own a bakery and fixed this for a few of my low carb customers. They really liked it.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delicious!!! Cons: Too Easy to make! (grin) I added a few extra packets of splenda cause dh has a severe sweet tooth, and used atkins chocolate syrup instead of the water. This was absolutely the best LC sweet treat I have made in the last 14 months! Highly recommended. Oh, I also used 1/8 cup soy flour and 1/8 cup almond flour instead of all soy.
Aediekins MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: September 2004 Posts: 1169	Review Date: Mon September 27, 2004 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 3    Positive aspects of the product (pros): While it was warm the texture was amazingly cake-like Cons: It had no flavor!!! And when it cooled, it turned dry and brick-like I followed the recipe exactly and it had no flavor. Sorry! But the texture was very cakey when it first came out of the microwave. I tried changing the ingredients a bit ( half almond flour, half soy powder, and eliminating the cocoa altogether and going for a vanilla cake using vanilla extract and vanilla syrup instead of water. It was a little better.) Something seems to missing in the flavor.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Positive aspects of the product (pros): good chocolate flavor, moist Cons: soy flour left an aftertaste I substituted hazelnut meal for the soy flour and then the recipe was perfect. My family went absolutely nuts for the cake once I made the substitution. We used the recipe renovation to make pancakes, too!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): I loved it! Cons: I didn't have any soy flour so I used Atkins Bake mix flour instead. I also didn't use the melted butter, instead I used olive oil. I made the mix and separated it into 2 small serving dishes for myself and my Boyfriend. Topped it with a bit of ricotta cream (ricotta with some sf choc syryp)! It was great! It rose right to the top of the dishes and it satisfied me! Great recipe!
RJsMomCReed Junior LCF Member Registered: March 2004 Location: Low Carb Zone Posts: 7	Review Date: Mon January 24, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): very little ingredients, easy to make, can add in healthy nutrients Cons: Nothing although I modified the recipe a little GREAT low carb snack when you want something sweet. I used 0 carb whip cream in a spray can by Land O Lakes on top of it. I used 1/8th Almond flour and 1/8th Soy flour instead of the 1/4 cup soy flour, and added 1 tsp vanilla and an extra 2 tsp. splenda and 1/2 tbl cocoa. It's still low carb that way and gives it some extra flavor, and lots of protein in the almond and soy flours. Once I even added about 2 tbls of unprocessed wheat bran to it to give it lots of fiber. Next I'm going to add some of my husband's chocolate protein powder to it. And you can add flax seed meal to it to add essential Omega 3 fat. This can really turn out to be a healthy snack, you just have to use your imagination!
seashell Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2005 Posts: 55	Review Date: Mon January 24, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Positive aspects of the product (pros): It was a good fix Cons: a little bland, will do again with tweaking We made it in a bowl and poured 1/2 the batter in seperate glass cups (the short kind). It was really cool how it puffed up to the top of the glass in 1 minute in the microwave. I thought it tasted good but my husband thought that it needed a lot more chocolate flavor. Unfortunately, ours did not look like the picture at all. Ours wasn't as dark and cake like looking. We plan on making it again but doing some substituting for lessen the carb count and make it more chocolately. I would say to definately try this, then do what you want with it.
Anonymous	Review Date: Tue January 25, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Texture, much like a muffin, quic and easy Cons: few, 3 minutes is from the time you set it in the microwave to cook I had done this recipe with chocolate many times, had tweaked it to my taste, loved it. I have found it takes, (in my microwave) 3 minutes to cook it, in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup. Today to my dismay I was out of all kinds unsweetened chocolate, no powder, no chunks none!!! So I tried making this into a Spice Cake. It worked well. I do use the ground nut flour 1/8 cup and 1/8 cup of soy. Then added spices to taste, more Splenda and also more water. I only cooked one cup of the batter and viola' I had a cute little spice muffin to snack on, made up some strawberry cream cheese and a cup of hot coffee and I was all set. Just goes to show that you dont have to have just chocolate in this recipe.

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): nothing short of great Cons: none We substitute almond flour(meal) for the soy flour as it seems moister, and also add a tablespoon of flax meal to it, too. To save even more time, quadruple the recipe and mix in 8x8 pan, then microwave for 4 minutes. Depending on how you cut them you can get several servings.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): excellent with a few tweaks Cons: I use almond flour instead of soy flour. I use coconut oil for the oil. I have made a yellow version adding lemon extract and blueberries and also a spice version with a cream cheese and cinnamon frosting. I try to make it only when someone is home to share it with me so I don't eat the whole thing! It's a good dessert for DH and I when we want just a little something after dinner.

No | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 1    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy to make Cons: Tasted like doggie biscuits. Yep, I've tried them too. LOL I'm sorry to write a negative review, but I was soooo disappointed in this recipe. It tasted nothing like chocolate cake to me, more like dog food. The dogs had no complaints, though. It wasn't as dark as the one pictured and I did the recipe exactly as it was written here. I just don't think soy flour makes a good cake anything.

This is very excellent for a 3-minute low-carb chocolate cake. I wouldn't try to pass this off as the "real thing", but excellent for the carbs and time. I added chocolate flavoring to my second batch. It is best hot right out of the microwave. I will make this again.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): wonderfull Cons: Read all the reviews so I altered it a little to start with I used Vanilla Whey Protein (1/4 cup), Davinici Sugar free vanilla syrup (3 tsp), Nestle Cocoa (2 tbsp), 2 packets of Splenda, 2 packets of Sweet n Low, 1 tbs butter (meant to do 2 but discovered my mistake after I made it) and 1 egg. Ate it with whipped cream. Yum... Going to try just vanilla (yellow) cake next.

It was spongy & VERY filling. It's pretty good for low carb, but needs chocolate icing or chocolate chips!!

I had to cook it about 30 seconds longer, but it was wonderful. My daughter-in-law asked for the recipe right away. That's a good sign. All the ingredients are on hand and its QUICK! I made a chocolate sauce with heavy cream and a piece of low carb chocolate candy. Thanks!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): quick, easy, delicious Cons: non This recipe was created when the use of soy flour was prevalent with most diets but we can now swap it since more lower carb or low gi flours are now available with less health risks. I used oat flour and instead of water used coconut milk. Incredible for a quick chocolate cake-like snack! Maybe the negative reviews came from people using soy flour but this was really good the way I made it. Will definitely make it again.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I tried it using Vanilla Whey PP, Stevia and a T of Hersheys Dark cocoa powder. The batter itself was AWESOME! It cooked in about 1 minute and, when it first came out (still hot) it tasted GREAT! The more it cooled, however, the more it resembled AND had the texture of a kitchen sponge. I think I'll try it with CarbQuick next time and see if the texture changes up some.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick and all ingredients you pretty much already have Cons: NONE what so ever Being a single mother of 3 its hard to fufill your sweet tooth craving, also not to menetion being diabetic..... This cured my craving and didnt raise my blood sugar. I added a few moderations to it.... I went to Wild Oats and got the Organic Soy Flour which has 100 calories, 1g of sat Fat, 9 Carbs, but 4 are Fiber Carbs and 7 grams of protein. Also instead of using the margarine/butter... I got the spray "I cant believe its not butter" that has 0 of everything. and used 8 packs of Splenda... Came out great. Would recommend it to everyone! The way I made it, it came out to 115 Calories 1.5g Fat (The rest of the fat is mono or poly, which has a total of 3.5g ) 6g Carbs 8g Protein NO SUGAR, USE SPLENDA and NO WHIP CREAM just plain......

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I make this with almond flour (fresh almonds ground in processor) instead of soy. I love the texture it gives it. Top it off with some sugar-free cool whip and you're set! From my calculations it is only about 4-5 net carbs per cake (two servings) but I can definitely eat a whole one by myself.

Stardock7 Junior LCF Member Registered: July 2009 Location: Phoenix, AZ Posts: 4	Review Date: Tue July 28, 2009 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 7    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick Cons: Aftertaste This was surprisingly good - I learned not to trust the reviews ever since the MIM fiasco, but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I used SF/CF chocolate syrup and added cinnamon and vanilla to the mix. I liked it better with whipped cream, the cream cheese frosting didn't work for me - maybe because of the aftertaste of the sugar. I didn't use Splenda because I really dislike its aftertaste; used Truvia instead, 3 packets only because it's concentrated - still has an aftertaste, hence the rating. Will try with Almond powder next.
