10 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp instant decaffeinated espresso powd

With an electric mixer on medium-high, beat eggs 6 minutes, until they fall
in thick ribbons when beater is lifted. Stir one-third of the eggs into
the chocolate mixture. In two additions, fold in remaining eggs. Pour
batter into prepared pan; smooth top.

a wire rack.

water for 1 minute, then turn cake out onto cutting board. Turn

Comments: Espresso powder boosts the chocolate flavor in this cake. If
you prefer a milder flavor, omit the coffee and water. This luscious
dessert has only 2.5 grams of Net Carbs per serving, but please remember
portion control!
