     If you think this Triple Chocolate Layer Cream Cake looks like it tastes delicious...You. Are. Right!  Wanna piece!?  Then get to the kitchen and make one for yourself, and you will see exactly what I mean!  Each of the 8 pieces are only 176 calories, 5.8g net carbs and 13.3g protein.  I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed sinking into my chair at night with a rich piece of deep chocolate heaven accessorizing my fork... #lifeisgood  ;)

  3. Is coconut butter the same as coconut oil? Also, would a large egg work instead of jumbo?

    1. Coconut Butter is different but you can sub with Coconut Oil, no problem! And the large egg should be fine! I would love to hear how it turns out💞

    1. Any brand of Chocolate protein powder could be used, if that's what you are asking. I just happen to be a loyal Quest user. I hope I understood your question correctly. Or did you mean not use the protein powder at all? If that's the case, you could increase your coconut flour by 2 Tablespoons and the Cocoa powder by 1 Tablespoon and that ratio should work. Let me know how it turns out💞

    2. On the frosting, if you are leaving out the protein powder just increase coco by 1 Tablespoon and taste to see if more sweetener is necessary.
