Can you believe this delicious cake waiting in the fridge is sugar free?! I had some help from a sugar free cake mix and I only had to figure out a sugar free filling and frosting which ended up being so creamy and delicious that I plan on making it over and over again with different flavors and using it on both regular and sugar free cakes.
My husband had a great birthday and was very impressed that I managed to bake him a cake at the beach :-)
Ingredients:
1 sugar free cake mix (I used pillsbury's yellow cake)+ingredients called for on the box
16 oz heavy cream
2 tablespoons Mascarpone cheese
1 pack sugar free chocolate pudding (unprepared)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Strawberries
Milk to thin the frosting to a spreadable consistency ( I used about 5 tablespoons)
All the sweetness comes from the pudding pack so no splenda needed.
Directions:
Bake your cake according to the directions on the box and set it aside until cool, cut it into two halves.
Using a mixer whisk the heavy cream until it starts forming soft peaks and then add the mascarpone cheese.
Mix the heavy cream and mascarpone and add the contents of your pudding pack and the unsweetened cocoa (sift it if lumpy)
At this point your cream will be lumpy so you will start adding the Milk and continue whisking until you reach a nice spreadable creamy consistency.
Spread a layer of the frosting on one half of the cake and dispose strawberries cut lenghtwise on its surface, cover with the other half and frost your whole cake with the remainder and decorate as desired. I used whole strawberries to decorate and a fork to texturize my frosting (That's what you do when you don't have your baking gear with you lol)
