Are calories and carbs etc per serving?
Yes, so if you split the cake into 8 slices, calories and carbs are per slice.
I made this cake today! It was amazing, I could not believe it was low carb and sugar free! I didn’t have any nutmeg or cloves and decided to mix coconut flour and almond flour… It was delicious! Thank you!
