The BEST sugar free Cup Cake/Frosting!!!!

I'm so excited about this one!!! My sister and I have tried so many times to make a good sugar free frosting to go on cookies or cake with little success. I told my friend (Lana Spencer who is an amazing cake artist) and she said she would attempt it. She came across this recipe for frosting and instantly thought it might work. What a great surprise when she came to my house with this yummy chocolate frosting. When your using coconut sugar everything turns brown so that is why the cake is dark. I hope you like this as much as I did. What a fun treat!!!

Lyndsie I am so sorry that I didnt save you any of this delicious cake. I had every intention to but I kept on eating and eating. Mom made this for the 4th of July BQ at Aaron's house.

A Simple Sweet Cake

My little girl (Elly) turned 7 years old. I can't believe how fast my children are growing. Well, with birthdays comes cake and ice cream. My family eats a lot of no sugar treats but I also want them to have the real stuff. I don't want them to grow up without sugar. It might be healthier but my philosophy  is everything in moderation. After I made Elly's Chocolate cake I made me this simple cake. I was so glad that it turned out so yummy. That chocolate cake was pure torture!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! - Melissa

Strawberry Short Cake

I love strawberries. Every year I think it couldn't be strawberry season. It is still cold where I live. Just seems more like a summer fruit to me. Lyndsie came up with this angel food cake recipe. It is really good. I put 5 cut strawberries and some whipped cream on top. So delicious. Can't even tell that it is sugar free.

Angel Food Cake...

1 1/2 t. Cream of Tarter

1 c. Agava

1 1/2 t. Vanilla

1/2 t. Almond extract

Time: 30-35 minutes. Check with a tooth pick to make sure it is cooked all the way through.

Let sit for 2 hours. Remove from pan.

Whipped Cream...

So easy!! All you do is take a carton of whipping cream. Pour into a mixing bowl along with agava (to taste) and mix until stiff. It doesn't take long 3 to 4 minutes is all. - Melissa
