Steps:
- Start by whipping up your butter to make it fluffy. I use a whisk attachment on my mixer.
- Add the sugar free powdered sugar to the butter. Switch to a paddle attachment or mix by hand using a spoon. Cream this together.
- Stir in the chocolate and the vanilla extract.
- When the chocolate appears to be blended in, add a tablespoon of your dairy. Whip this up and if your frosting seems to be too thick continue to add additional dairy, up to a 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have reached your desired texture. However, to thicken up a thin frosting, simply add additional sugar a teaspoon at a time.
- This should frost an average sized cake depending the thickness of your frosting.

Steps:
- Add butter and Swerve to a stand mixer and blend on high until incorporated.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds to 1 minute until melted.
- Stir chips until smooth.
- While stand mixer is on low speed, carefully pour melted chocolate chips into stand mixer.
- Scrape down sides of mixing bowl then bend again until smooth.
- Does not need refrigeration if using to frost that day. If you do refrigerate, it will need some time to come to room temperature in order to spread it smoothly. You could also microwave for a 30 seconds to a minute to soften if needed.

SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 round 9-inch cake pans.
- For the cake, put flour, Splenda, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix well.
- In a stand mixer, mix the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla together. Slowly add in the mix of dry ingredients while the mixer is on low. Add the coffee and make sure everything is combined. The batter will be very thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the milk and sugar free pudding mix, whisking until smooth.
- Add the pudding, one spoonful at a time to the cream cheese, beating between each addition. Be careful not to add this too quickly or it won't mix in well.
- After you've added in all of the pudding, fold in the whipped topping and mix gently until completely combined.
- Place one cake layer on a plate.
- Spoon and smooth about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of frosting over the first cake layer.
- Place the second cake on top.
- Frost the top and outside of the cake (if desired) with the remaining frosting.
- Refrigerate the cake until serving. The frosting will soften and "melt" as it is at room temperature so be sure to keep the cake cold!

- You can buy Malitol sugar replacer at whole food stores. For this recipe, you will need both Malitol crystals and Malitol powder. The brand I use is Nature Sweet. It measures cup for cup like sugar and is a natural sugar free sweetener made from corn. It contains no artificial ingredients and is suitable for low carb and diabetic diets. Once you cook with this, you will never want to use any other artificial sweetener again. This has no aftertaste and tastes just like sugar.

SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is a recipe for sugar free chocolate cake. I discovreed while trying to bake with Splenda that it rejects oil/ fat, making cakes disgustingly greasy, and leaving a bad aftertaste. This cake is fluffy and tastes like chocolate cake, not overpowering or leaving a horrible aftertaste. It's also moist and fluffy. It's really cake! It reminds me in texture of those cakes that come for the microwave.

Steps:
- Directions.
- In a small saucepan warm the 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup Granulated Splenda, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add in the 1/4 cup Hershey's Unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until blended. Pour the chocolate into a cup or small bowl for use later.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl beat the two eggs. Add in the 1 cup granulated Splenda, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/8 teaspoon (or a pinch) of salt, 2/3 cup powdered milk, 2/3 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Combine. Add in the chocolate from earlier, and mix til blended. Add the 1/2 cup milk a little at a time to thin the batter. It should be just a little watery.
- Pour into a buttered round nine-inch pan. Should take about 20 minutes to cook depending on the oven. Check it at 15 to get an idea about how much longer to leave it. When a toothpick comes out clean from the center, then it's done. The cake should be fluffy, but more cohesive than regular cake. It won't fall apart. Almost reminds me of a sponge, but fluffier -- Tastes good though.
- The cake I made was in a glass rectangle pan (not very wide), and it came out an inch thick. For my purposes that was fine, but if you want a taller cake, it would be a good idea to make two and have the cake be two layers to make up height. If you can find a good sugar free frosting recipe or put sugar free pudding in the center between layers that would make it even better. Or if you can double the recipe. I don't know how that works. I think it involves math of some kind, something about not doubling the salt or sugar or something.

Tips:
- To ensure a smooth and lump-free batter, sift the dry ingredients together before combining them with the wet ingredients.
- Use room-temperature ingredients for the cake batter, as this will help them combine more easily and evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality cocoa powder.
- To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven, as this will help it rise evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sweetener and cocoa powder.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or fresh berries.
