Here is how you make Chocolate Pecan Torte - Low Carb Cake:

Preparation:Heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 8 or 9" round pan or springform pan.1) Process pecans in food processor - pulse until they are meal - but they won't get quite as small as corn meal.2) Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse again. (Note on erythritol: You can do this recipe with all artificial sweetener, but I've begun experimenting with partial erythritol, with success. I haven't tested all different combinations yet, though - it may be that more erythritol is even better.)3) Add the wet ingredients and process until well-blended.4) Pour into pan and bake. The exact time will vary with the pan. Start checking at about 25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.5) Cut when cool. If desired, serve with homemade whipped cream and/or chocolate sauce.Serving Size: 8 large servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CW33764.
