Hey Grandma832...what's to translate or transpose here?!?! It is called a "PRINT" key, very easy to follow! The cake is a basic low fat sponge cake...and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe with the rest of us!

Excellent little cake! Fizzy, you go! I've also lost 50 pounds in the last 12 months, by changing to healthier eating habits, but I fear I still need both knees replaced :( Oh well, I still have between 30 and 40 pounds to go, so I guess time will tell. Grandma, do you have a printer? These recipes are not difficult to print off...or write out by hand, for that matter. And yes, in my opinion, this cake is well worth making. Also, I notice that sometimes people will praise a recipe but entirely forget to rate it with stars. Please don't forget your stars! I for one often look to see how many a recipe rates before checking it out. ;-] Happy holidays, everyone!

I haven't tried this yet but it looks easys to follow and I love chocolate and red raspberries. I have however been following Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure diet so have been looking for recipes to adapt. I think this would adapt quite easily. I would use about 2/3 cup Truvia for the 3/4 cup sugar, unsweetened Almond Breeze for the milk, we only use olive oil, and I would melt 2 squares of uinsweetened cocoa in about 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream and sweeten to taste with Truvia. Truvia would lower the carbs. I will try it! Oh, I've lost over 50 pounds so far on this diet and my knees quit hurting. May not need knee replacement.

This cake is delicious and easy to make.

Grandma, you don't have to be computer savvy to simply follow the directions that are so kindly given and shared. I'm 70 years old and had no problem following the step by step directions. If you don't think it's not worth your time to do it, well then DONT! Let's be a little kinder to those who take the time out to share these recipes with others. If your not capable to say something nice, don't say nothing at all, we don't want to read about your negative disposition before you even attempted to try it. By the way, this cake makes a great presentation for the Christmas table, enjoy, Happy Holidays.

Not everyone is computer savvy enough to translate or transpose this recipe. I'd like to know if it's worth the time and effort for all that !

It was my turn to provide dessert for my volunteer group "brown bag" lunch. It was a hit. Some asked for seconds! Laura, Walnut Creek, CA
