I have a friend who's son is on low carb and she's sick of doing the cheesecake...any ideas for a low carb friendly cake recipe and frosting???

first response: hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Second response: I remember coming across a recipe for a cake made from black beans that sounded interesting. Maybe you could look into that. As for low-carb frosting, hmm...

I think you should look at the thread here:

There's a link to a fabulous-looking low-carb chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
