Strawberry Chocolate Torte

buttoni.wordpress.com

I did bake my cake in ONE 9″ round cake (wax-paper lined) cake pan that is unusually deep (2½”) and the cake rose nearly to the top! It would bake OK in two standard shallow 9″ cake pans also, but reduce the cooking time if you make that pan change. You’ll have more trouble slicing it into 4 layers, and might prefer to just do a two-layer final cake instead of three. Or you could bake the cake in a wax-paper lined stew pot/dutch oven. That has worked for me many a time. This cake is not suitable until the berries rung of the Atkins OWL carb reintroduction ladder. Due to the artificial sweeteners and dairy, this dessert is not be suitable for Paleo-Primal followers without considerable modification.
