In fact I still have some left myself too...<BR/>PS, do try the mousse cake some time - it's rich but very nice. I've had some success with leaving out almost all the butter - it's not quite the same but a loss less effort for a quick sweet treat.Lysyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13415024852684873909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-22048507529756412812009-01-04T21:19:00.000+11:002009-01-04T21:19:00.000+11:00Thanks Ruth - yes not at all south beach diet but ...Thanks Ruth - yes not at all south beach diet but not as rich as some chocolate cakes, so I hope you will get a chance to try it<BR/><BR/>thanks Amira - hope you enjoy it!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-8961149491167213832009-01-04T14:27:00.000+11:002009-01-04T14:27:00.000+11:00that looks scrumptious, i think i'll have to give ...that looks scrumptious, i think i'll have to give it a try, yummy!Amirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792091746014858121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-17487478154086589892009-01-04T13:27:00.000+11:002009-01-04T13:27:00.000+11:00Wonderful looking cake, and sooooo not on South Be...Wonderful looking cake, and sooooo not on South Beach Diet.

It does look gorgeous, and I love the berries alongside. The flourless version reminds me of something called Bete Noir I made many years ago--almost like a souffle cake.
