SUGAR-FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM ICING
This is my favorite sugar free chocolate cake, made with oat flour, it is also high in fiber and absolutely delicious! It is so moist and fluffy, and not at all heavy like some sugar free cakes.

- Frosting:.

- With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat in butter, Malitol powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract. Pour in chocolate mixture and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Place 1 cake layer on serving platter. Spread 1/2 cup frosting evenly across top of cake. Place second layer on top then spread remaining eve evenly on top and sides if you wish. I like to pile all my frosting on top. Cut and serve.
- 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.
