Chocolate Cake for Two

Chocolate Cake for Two with three Topping options!

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done a recipe.  Life has been crazy here!  I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant with our #7 baby.  So excited to see our little Miss but trying to cram a lot of things in a few weeks… eek!!

Valentine’s Day is coming up too.  Actually we have our oldest daughter’s birthday on Feb. 12th, our baby is also due on the 12th, Valentine’s Day is the 14th and then my birthday is on the 16th… wow, my husband has a very busy week. LOL

We all know Valentine’s Day means lots of chocolate and this pregnant mama has been craving chocolate!  I wanted to create a simple chocolatey cake for two with a couple of different toppings (because I couldn’t decided on which one I wanted, why not have them all).  How romantic is that?  AND these are THM!  No sugar here, no gluten either.  Just yummy goodness! 😉

The three topping options are: strawberry cream cheese, vanilla cream glaze, and butter pecan glaze.  And if you are like me… try them all!  They are all really good added on this rich dark chocolate cake.  Each glaze makes enough to top the cake well. 

I’ve been a Trim Healthy Mama now for going on 3 years in May! It’s my lifestyle and even if I cheat now and then THIS is the way I will be eating forever! If you don’t know anything about Trim Healthy Mama go check out my affiliate like to their store ->here<-.  You can also purchase the THM Gentle Sweet here.  It is my choice of sweetener.  Also, my husband’s favorite!  It has no aftertaste and tastes the closest to sugar.  I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Yes, this cake is rich but so good!  Really hits that chocolate craving!  It’s easy to whip together and bakes in the oven for 20 minutes.  The toppings are easy to whip up too!  Just keep everything at room temp for easy stirring.

This really is the perfect THM Valentine’s Day treat for you and your love to share… but if you want to make it your meal, you don’t have to share! haha It is a THM S meal!

Hope you enjoy this chocolatey yumminess!!
