I’m only 22. Have watched all your videos, your channel is my favourite RUclips channel. I do not have diabetes, but eat mostly low carb and test my blood sugar often. I would like to be healthy from a young age, and avoid ever getting diabetes. I feel so lucky and privileged to have this information before I actually get diabetes. Thank you so much. I really appreciate all that you do.
@@shorb2289 you can do a 60-day or 30-day average on your blood glucose meter and that will give you a blood sugar reading average and then you look up the A1C for that average. Having to get an A1C done by your doctor or even having it tested yourself through requestatest Etc can be expensive. There are companies that do cell A1C home test kits and you can look into those.
Definitely going to try this! I love your channel .I was diagnosed recently with diabetes .It's taken some getting used to! Finding what works for me ,new recipes etc. I'm getting there slowly.finding little gems like this chocolate cake is going to help enormously .The other thing that has impressively that you are yourself diabetic and sharing what works for for you ,so that we can try it and see if it works for us . Thank you Dennis .
Dennis reenter I was shopping in the store , a couple that was also shopping where talking about tye 2 diabetes and what they could eat. They seamed loss so I asked if I could help. Too make a long story short , I helped we walked together and I shared the knowledge I had learned . I also told them about you ,so I hope they are doing better. I remember when I was first discovered that I was type 2 ,it was like being in a dark room., someone like you helped too turn on the light . God bless you and yours!
Used this mug cake recipe from you for a while now. I souped it up with Kerry Gold butter melted and added to the egg and olive oil with 3 heaping tablespoons of sour cream. Hard to believe it does so well. Takes moist to a different dimension. Thanks Dennis.
Thank you for sharing this recipe this is the best Keto mug cake recipe I've tried. It tastes just like a brownie and the sour cream really gives it good consistency.
That chocolate cake experiment is awesome! I’m gonna try it for sure! Thank u for being here on RUclips for us mortals. You’re so good at what u do! Color me impressed!
Every time I listen to one of your videos, I get inspired all over again. Thanks you Dennis for keeping me on the right path. God bless you for the great work you're doing. I wonder how many lives you've saved.
Great Video! I have not tried mug cake yet . Being type 2 I thought I could never have a good dessert again but then I found the low carb way of eating. I get really great recipes from Pinterest . Facebook also has some great low carb and keto groups. I use coconut flour a lot and sour cream is a staple in a lot of dessert recipes I do. I just bought monk fruit sugar to try out and was wondering if you have had any experience using this? Thanks again for a new dessert idea!
Excellent, encouraging video! You are a wonderful inspiration to us and you are proving it is possible to keep blood sugars down and eat well. Thank you for sharing these videos with us. Can’t wait to try this cake!
I made the cake last night and it was so good that I ate the whole thing., lol I think it is the sour cream that made it moist. I added one thing to your recipe. It is called Cake Better Extract. About a half to 1 teaspoon. Cake batter extract is found where Vanilla extract is found in the stores.
Thank you again Dennis, definitely I like recipes easy to make, and this one is a good one, when there is no much time to spend in the kitchen, I finally tried your low carb pancakes which are very tasty, and full of flavor God Bless you
I've used mug cake,w.one square of dark chocolate.I never bought the whipped cream. I also have been making mug bread in a bowl for perfect size for sandwiches.Adding cheese and green onion makes a special bread.
Rosa Antonetti I make it whenever I want.Its a UTube mug bread recipe.Just use coconut flour ,sweetner,square unsweetened choc.,and vanella.You can experiment.When I make bread,I use almond flour.Can even add cheese,garlic for yummy bread.I often use bowl,and it's like a wrap.
Last night was depressed at an 8pm read of 122. I decided to make Keto almond flour bisquits.i cook mine in oven 350 15 to 20 minutes. I ate both muffins. My oil of choice was coconut oil instead of butter. By 1030p.m. i was at 96 on blood, and in 9 a.m. today, 95 on meter. Im glad i copy my day of eating. Now i can do it again. I also added almond extract in the batter. Ate with butter. I love your videos. I too have a collection of lanterns for emergency or enjoyment. Good luck.take care.
Dennis, just a suggestion. Any time you get a glucose reading that seems a little strange it is a good idea to take another one right away so see if you got a false positive.
It was the same monitor. And the reading wasn't really strange to me. This often happens - I drift up for a while in the morning then then after eating a low-carb meal I go back down. Same thing happened when we did the Chinese Restaurant video.
@@beatdiabetes3 Same here. At first, it bothered me, but glucose changes can be seen in as little as 15 minute increments with me. I just test in series and take an average. The baseline shows consistency, not individual readings several hours apart. To see this baseline, I kept a log, but not anymore. I'm good here.
Hi Denise ,i use Lindt chocolate 95%cocoa, i use butter and honesty i have a big portion and does not spike me..can't work it out ...thanks for sharing 🙂
Some of us don;t use microwaves because it generates (as the name suggests) microwave radiation which alters the protein structures in food making them toxic. Exposure to microwave radiation causes sterility. Any good oven recipes.
Dennis I am eating and I can not see how yo do the chocolate. This simple many ingredients. I will see later. Where you have your recipes ?congratulations thanks to do those delicious dessert 🍮.
Couple of things: Butter or oil the sides of the mug beforehand and the mug cake just falls out (no need for a knife). I use Erythritol as a sweetner, it has zero impact on glucose levels. Stevia has some degree of impact on blood sugar levels (as reflected in the GI chart).
Great video Dennis. Have you tried chaffles yet and how they affect your blood sugar? RUclips and Facebook has dozens of chaffle recipes and people are losing weight and talking how keto friendly it is, but I've not seen any test results.
I reversed my diabetes six months ago and I still struggle from time to time. Thank you. I tried it and it was delicious!!❤️ this changed the way I look at sweets.
Hello Pastor Dennis! My husband and I needed a good chocolate dessert so we won't stray from our low-carb diet. I've used many of your recipes. I like simple ones and easy to make. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the new recipe Denis; my birthday is coming up the 4th of Oct. and I think this will be a welcome treat for my day. Looking forward to trying it.
As for me, I LOVE baking in the kitchen! It's great therapy with delicious results! If you heat a little cream to warm, put it over the chocolate chips and stir to totally melted and creamy, you can mix it into your cake and it won't "bottom out!" Just dont add cold cream to melted chocolate as it will seize up. Cream must be heated some. REDI WHIP is a staple for me as a whip cream if I don't whip up my own. I always keep a carton in the fridge. What I'm not going to use, like a half or third left over, I freeze. Totally thaw it out but still very cold and you can whip it up again! I use whipped cream A LOT in place of frosting (🤢) (even as I kid, I hated icings!)stabilized with plain melted gelatin so I can also pipe it in decorations like you would buttercream, using rosettes and swirls and it won't collapse.
Thank you for a great video again! Anything we accomplish in life starts with the mindset we bring to the challenge. We have to take ownership of what food is "ours" and not concern ourselves about what others have. I enjoy adding just a little cacao powder to my coffee by blending it with 15 ml. half and half and five drops of stevia in the bottom of my cup until a chocolate paste forms, then i brew my coffee on top of that and stir. Since the chocolate is in a paste form at the bottom of the cup it will blend into the hot coffee nicely. I can add more half and half as desired since it only has 1 net carb but I don't exceed 45 ml. It can be drank hot or put in the fridge to drink cold later if preferred. I believe your sugar dropped after the meal because of the dawn effect. Our liver is stronger than our pancreas is my guess, it produces glucose faster in the morning than the pancreas can keep up with. Enjoy your videos as always. Keep up the good work!
I LOOVVEE chocolate, but I'm finding that in the beginning of this journey I have to just not eat anything sweet. It is too tempting. I'm hoping to water fast a day then go keto then fast again for one day. etc. Eventually is like to work up to 5-7 days water/ electrolytes fasting one time per month for 3 months then go every 4 months. I want autophagy and stem cell production to hopefully heal me.
Hello Dennis! I'm so thankful for you and your zeal for sharing your wonderful ideas!!! I've ordered one book and the thumb drive so I can share what I'm learning with my diabetic friends. Everything I learn from you is like a gift!! I'm not diabetic, but in October, 2018 I was declared by my doctor to be pre-diabetic. I began in earnest to eat lo carb Jan. 24, 2019 when I was introduced to KETO by a friend. I'm doing well. My BS is under control, and I have a very strong desire to help others discover what I now know. One of the biggest blessings I've received lately is the discovery of you and your wonderful videos! If possible, would you please test the BS monitor that doesn't require sticking your finger? I'm with Benedicta on that aspect of doing exactly what you say you are doing. I'm planning more investigation before I buy one, but I would greatly appreciate hearing your opinion about the newer kind of BS machine. Praise the Lord for your work! I love Benedicta's humor. She's SUCH a jewel! Sincerely, DeAnna Venable from Garland, TX.
Dennis, I have changed my mind about getting the Libre blood sugar monitor. I asked my doctor for a prescription for the Libre , and when I went to the pharmacy to pick it up I understood what he meant when he said, "They're quite expensive, did you know that?" I told him yes and thought I knew what to expect. But was I EVER WRONG!!!! The reader machine is about $85 and the little white discs you have to wear are applied to your body every two weeks. Each box of discs costs approximately $40 and it takes two boxes to get you through an entire month. I think I'll just have to learn how to poke my finger as I cannot afford THAT much expense just to satisfy my curiosity. I'm not diabetic. I just want to do like you.... test after eating certain meals so I will KNOW what meals are best/safe for me. I've grown kind of lax about counting my daily carbs. My a1c is 5.8, so that's not really great, but within the limits. If you do the experiment with the Libre, I think many people will do as I am doing....waiting for the price on the new technology to go down. Many thanks! DeAnna from Garland, TX
@@deannavenable8352 I know. Unless you are wealthy, it doesn't make a lot of sense to constantly use it. But for someone whose blood sugar is crazy high, and is in a fight for their life, it might be worth the investment, at least until they get control of things.
@@beatdiabetes3 Dennis, you know what is best. I trust your judgement entirely! I'll look forward to your test of the Libre! Thank you for taking time to reply to me!
Dennis, absolutely love your videos! You have such a calming voice and positive personality. I made the chocolate cake in a mug and it turned out delicious! Topped it with raspberries and whip cream.
I would prefer to enjoy life and health the enjoy any kind of dessert food with sweets or anything else living a healthy full life is worth more than all that
Awesome!! Another recipe to try and most likely add to my collection.I'm ALL IN with your saying that beating diabetes can be a flavorful experience too
Thanks for another tasty recipe Dennis. Will definitely give it a try. One of my after meal desserts is a square piece of Lindtt supreme dark chocolate (90% cocoa). It's fairly big so it satisfies me. The whole 100g bar has 14g of carbs, of which 11g are fiber carbs, so a measly 3g of net carbs. It also has 30g of saturated fat. But I didn't just settle for the nutritional facts, I tested myself when I first added it to my dessert menu. Before eating one square piece, my blood glucose was at 97, 30 minutes later it was at 102, and an hour after it read 94, so I guess it passed the Mike The Meter test with flying colors!
Wow excellent I will make this delicious dessert 🍮. I would like to ask you something, last night I skipped dinner so I woke up this morning and my glucose reading was 137 I didn’t take my metformin because I did not eat at all. Does it happened to you when you skip one meal? Thank you for sharing
I sure appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. I'm planning to make this cake for my Husband and I to share today. I already know we're going to really enjoy your recipe. I printed off an extra copy to share with my Ma as well. Thank you for being such a Blessing. Maranatha, Brother!! :)
Thanks, Dennis. I have your chia pudding recipe every weekday morning. I trust your recipes! By the way I'll share real quick how I make my chia pudding. I don't remember exactly how you did yours but I think it's very similar. 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Quarter cup heavy whipping cream. 1/2 cup water. Mix mix mix mix mix. Splash of vanilla and double splash of sugar-free syrup. I can't wait to try this chocolate cake. Also we use your pizza recipe a lot. I know you switch to one tortilla but we really like it with two, the original way you made it. And of course no pork. LOL. Have a great day and keep this great information coming!
Well, I had a 'go' at making this diabetic chocolate cake . I wish mine slid out as nearly as yours. However, it did not taste too bad. I had to use two tablespoons of coconut flour as I had no almond flour. As a result, it did taste quite a bit of coconut.
The lowering of your blood sugar is probably due to the tolerance of the meter. I have 2 meters one of which is a Freestyle like yours. It usually reads lower than my Bayer Advance that my insurance company provides me. Maybe it would be a good idea for a future video to check your blood glucose with two different meters back to back using the same hole you poked in your finger. I did this the other day and my readings were 21 points different. Not a good feeling when one is trying to manage there blood sugar. Keep up the good work Dennis. This makes me hungry for some long forgotten cake.
@Harry Langley … yes, the meters make a difference, as do the actual test strips. I have two different manufacturer's and they are never the same values. But they both show the same trends. And, I have tested from the exact same blood right after each other.
Thanks Dennis , for all your hard work God bless kind Sir , mine was 98 this morning your videos have helped me so much , secret is ,test eat test eat test (Doug in Ga)
I love you God bless you . You are such a blessing in my life I have really changed my eating habits . You have really made a difference in my life . I thank God he allowed me to find your videos . ❤️💚💙
yum I'm going to make this and add some cream cheese to the whipped topping to make it like red velvet cake! Thank you BTW I JUST MADE PORK RIND CRUSTED CHICKEN PARMESAN- Another game changer!
@@randyalanjones I'm on keto currently,sure you couldn't eat this everyday and lose weight,but if you make keto a lifestyle,when your weight loss is done,you'll likely sometimes want a keto dessert,and fitting for someone with diabetes.
@@randyalanjones Congratulations,that was a huge undertaking. How long did it take? Are you finished now? It a slippery slope too if I allowed myself all the time,but if I restrict it to once every couple weeks ,monthly, or special occasion, it's likely ok. I'm a carb addict.
Damn I almost bought into this seeing how I was diagnosed with being Pre Diabetic and this was the very first video that I clicked on…the thing that makes me wonder is how come he didn’t know the exact amount of Carbohydrates?…isn’t that what I read on the disclaimer..(Lowered Carbohydrates)… All he knew is that it lowered his blood sugar, but not the total amount of carbohydrates in each ingredient in order for him to be so successful. I guess I’ll have to just google each ingredient and do the math myself before I try it.
I use the number of carbs as a guide, but it is never the final word for me. The ultimate question for me is whether my glucose meter (Mike) likes a meal or food or dislikes them. If my meter gives me a good number an hour or an hour and a half after eating, I am happy and don't worry about how many carbs I just ate.
I can't find the other video so that I can comment, so I'll just post it here. I'm going to try your pancakes recipe, but I was thinking did you ever try adding the cocoa to the pancake mix?
Haven't tried that, but there's no reason that wouldn't work, if you are seeking a chocolate taste to your pancakes. Unsweetened cocoa is not a problem with carbs.
Wow! I can't wait to make this cake ! I love chocolate and coffee ! I do not have sour cream nor the heavy cream today with me! Thank you so much brother Dennis! I can never miss a single video ! I learn something new each time I watch your videos! I love to see your sweetheart , a true help mete working with you ! She is so beautiful !!
Whenever I pass, come to our neighborhood. I have a feeling you can get some great deals on lamps at a big garage sale Benedicta will probably have! :)

If your not diabetic i wouldnt check sugar levels unless your just experimenting foods however id recommend getting a a1c test
@Classic Mercs what made you interested to control your blood sugar? 60 ways to lower your blood sugar is a good book to read., by Dennis.
@@shorb2289 you can do a 60-day or 30-day average on your blood glucose meter and that will give you a blood sugar reading average and then you look up the A1C for that average.

Very smart to watch your diet at an early age!

After every meal, I crave something sweet. Thank you for this option.

Sounds delicious! 😋Thanks for sharing your recipes, experiments, and blood sugar readings. Love your videos Bro. Dennis!! 😁God bless!

You too, Rhonda!
Thanks also for your spiritual example you and your Beautiful wife, your natural example on how to beat diabetes has help me a lot. Thanks again 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for sharing this recipe this is the best Keto mug cake recipe I've tried. It tastes just like a brownie and the sour cream really gives it good consistency.
Just what I've been looking for. Thanks for making this video.
thank you
For interest, Cashews are not actually a nut,they are a pulse therefore are much higher in carbs.
That chocolate cake experiment is awesome! I’m gonna try it for sure! Thank u for being here on RUclips for us mortals. You’re so good at what u do! Color me impressed!

Hope you enjoy
Looks good! I am going to make it very soon. Thanks for sharing.
I made the cake last night and it was so good that I ate the whole thing., lol
I think it is the sour cream that made it moist. I added one thing to your recipe. It is called Cake Better Extract. About a half to 1 teaspoon. Cake batter extract is found where Vanilla extract is found in the stores.
Mmmm looks yummy 😋
Hi, Pastor Dennis!
That dessert looks absolutely delicious😋
Dennis, i love all your videos☺ Can anyone PLEASE tell me what you do during the HOLIDAYS with all the food that will be out @ the family tables?
Take your own food. Have some meat & green veg & take extra mug cakes & offer them round.
I continue to eat healthy,even when dining out.I am proud of myself,it has become easier,a way of life!

I've baked these in my toaster oven at 325. Start testing for doneness at about 10 minutes.
@George Kallis … as long as you have a suitable mug, you can place it in the oven and bake that way.

I'm planning more investigation before I buy one, but I would greatly appreciate hearing your opinion about the newer kind of BS machine. Praise the Lord for your work! I love Benedicta's humor. She's SUCH a jewel! Sincerely, DeAnna Venable from Garland, TX.
Howdy neighbor! I plan to get the Libre and test it sometime.
Dennis, I have changed my mind about getting the Libre blood sugar monitor. I asked my doctor for a prescription for the Libre , and when I went to the pharmacy to pick it up I understood what he meant when he said, "They're quite expensive, did you know that?" I told him yes and thought I knew what to expect. But was I EVER WRONG!!!! The reader machine is about $85 and the little white discs you have to wear are applied to your body every two weeks. Each box of discs costs approximately $40 and it takes two boxes to get you through an entire month. I think I'll just have to learn how to poke my finger as I cannot afford THAT much expense just to satisfy my curiosity. I'm not diabetic. I just want to do like you.... test after eating certain meals so I will KNOW what meals are best/safe for me. I've grown kind of lax about counting my daily carbs. My a1c is 5.8, so that's not really great, but within the limits. If you do the experiment with the Libre, I think many people will do as I am doing....waiting for the price on the new technology to go down. Many thanks! DeAnna from Garland, TX
@@deannavenable8352 I know. Unless you are wealthy, it doesn't make a lot of sense to constantly use it. But for someone whose blood sugar is crazy high, and is in a fight for their life, it might be worth the investment, at least until they get control of things.
@@beatdiabetes3 Dennis, you know what is best. I trust your judgement entirely! I'll look forward to your test of the Libre! Thank you for taking time to reply to me!
Dennis, absolutely love your videos! You have such a calming voice and positive personality. I made the chocolate cake in a mug and it turned out delicious! Topped it with raspberries and whip cream.
Sounds great!
Epic fail for Fu. Tried the original recipe and it was great. Today's cake was bland hockey puck. Bummer...
I would prefer to enjoy life and health the enjoy any kind of dessert food with sweets or anything else living a healthy full life is worth more than all that
YOU BIG HYPOCRITE, I JUST TURNED ONTO YOUR CHANNEL AND I CAUGHT YOU EATING CHOCOLATE CAKE!
Hahahahaha...just kidding!
I will make it soon! :-)))
Awesome!! Another recipe to try and most likely add to my collection.I'm ALL IN with your saying that beating diabetes can be a flavorful experience too
Let them eat 🎂!
lol. I need to come over and give you 'canned-whipped-cream' lessons. Recipe looks great, though.
?? Canned whipped cream lesson? I'm curious....what is it?
Thanks for another tasty recipe Dennis. Will definitely give it a try. One of my after meal desserts is a square piece of Lindtt supreme dark chocolate (90% cocoa). It's fairly big so it satisfies me. The whole 100g bar has 14g of carbs, of which 11g are fiber carbs, so a measly 3g of net carbs. It also has 30g of saturated fat. But I didn't just settle for the nutritional facts, I tested myself when I first added it to my dessert menu. Before eating one square piece, my blood glucose was at 97, 30 minutes later it was at 102, and an hour after it read 94, so I guess it passed the Mike The Meter test with flying colors!
Wow excellent I will make this delicious dessert 🍮. I would like to ask you something, last night I skipped dinner so I woke up this morning and my glucose reading was 137 I didn’t take my metformin because I did not eat at all. Does it happened to you when you skip one meal? Thank you for sharing
Maybe you could use a cheese grater for your chocolate. That's what I use. Can't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing!❤
I sure appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. I'm planning to make this cake for my Husband and I to share today. I already know we're going to really enjoy your recipe. I printed off an extra copy to share with my Ma as well. Thank you for being such a Blessing. Maranatha, Brother!! :)
I do this mug cake to the lunch and my glucose 2 hours after is 98 too. (including vegetables and T Bone)
No microwave, please, oven temp and time. Thank you.
Thanks, Dennis. I have your chia pudding recipe every weekday morning. I trust your recipes! By the way I'll share real quick how I make my chia pudding. I don't remember exactly how you did yours but I think it's very similar. 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Quarter cup heavy whipping cream. 1/2 cup water. Mix mix mix mix mix. Splash of vanilla and double splash of sugar-free syrup.
I can't wait to try this chocolate cake. Also we use your pizza recipe a lot. I know you switch to one tortilla but we really like it with two, the original way you made it. And of course no pork. LOL. Have a great day and keep this great information coming!
Well, I had a 'go' at making this diabetic chocolate cake . I wish mine slid out as nearly as yours. However, it did not taste too bad. I had to use two tablespoons of coconut flour as I had no almond flour. As a result, it did taste quite a bit of coconut.
The lowering of your blood sugar is probably due to the tolerance of the meter. I have 2 meters one of which is a Freestyle like yours. It usually reads lower than my Bayer Advance that my insurance company provides me. Maybe it would be a good idea for a future video to check your blood glucose with two different meters back to back using the same hole you poked in your finger. I did this the other day and my readings were 21 points different. Not a good feeling when one is trying to manage there blood sugar. Keep up the good work Dennis. This makes me hungry for some long forgotten cake.
@Harry Langley … yes, the meters make a difference, as do the actual test strips. I have two different manufacturer's and they are never the same values. But they both show the same trends. And, I have tested from the exact same blood right after each other.
he make the test with the same meter so the importance is the difference from one reading to the other
That looks great! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if you used egg beaters , would it still work?
Thank you the recipes. Hope it helps my friend who is diabetic.
You're looking great, Dennis. Thank you for the recipe! Bonnie
Thanks Dennis , for all your hard work God bless kind Sir , mine was 98 this morning your videos have helped me so much , secret is ,test eat test eat test (Doug in Ga)
That's great, Doug!
Francis Potter where in Ga are you? I’m in East Cobb - Marietta
You should use pecans instead of walnuts as they have less net carbs per gram and slightly less oxalates. They actually taste better too!
You should? Are you the nut police? C'mon man!
@@tombidlack5472 The whole idea is to reduce carbs using the best possible foods. I suggest pecans to do this over other nuts.
Great and easy!! I'll definitely try it 🙂
I love you God bless you . You are such a blessing in my life I have really changed my eating habits . You have really made a difference in my life . I thank God he allowed me to find your videos . ❤️💚💙
That's great, Nancy! Thank God!
Thanks for this Yummy Recipe!
yum I'm going to make this and add some cream cheese to the whipped topping to make it like red velvet cake! Thank you BTW I JUST MADE PORK RIND CRUSTED CHICKEN PARMESAN- Another game changer!
Cheese and dairy products are bad for you
I been following your advice my readings have been good .
That's great, Nancy!
Dennis I plugged the recipe into Carb Manager and it came back with 11 net carbs, 32 total for the total cake with walnuts but no whipped cream.
Thanks for doing the math!
Love this channel but it is not the channel if you are wanting to lose weigh on Keto or low carb, but great for diabetics.
@@randyalanjones I'm on keto currently,sure you couldn't eat this everyday and lose weight,but if you make keto a lifestyle,when your weight loss is done,you'll likely sometimes want a keto dessert,and fitting for someone with diabetes.
sandra white maybe some people you are correct. I lost 240 pounds on keto and do not touch all these things because for me it is a slippery slope.
@@randyalanjones Congratulations,that was a huge undertaking. How long did it take? Are you finished now? It a slippery slope too if I allowed myself all the time,but if I restrict it to once every couple weeks ,monthly, or special occasion, it's likely ok. I'm a carb addict.
It's O.k. I have taken my socks off ready.
are macadamia ok to eat for diabetic Dennis thank you ?
This cake looks lovely just what I need lol type 2
Damn I almost bought into this seeing how I was diagnosed with being Pre Diabetic and this was the very first video that I clicked on…the thing that makes me wonder is how come he didn’t know the exact amount of Carbohydrates?…isn’t that what I read on the disclaimer..(Lowered Carbohydrates)… All he knew is that it lowered his blood sugar, but not the total amount of carbohydrates in each ingredient in order for him to be so successful. I guess I’ll have to just google each ingredient and do the math myself before I try it.
I use the number of carbs as a guide, but it is never the final word for me. The ultimate question for me is whether my glucose meter (Mike) likes a meal or food or dislikes them. If my meter gives me a good number an hour or an hour and a half after eating, I am happy and don't worry about how many carbs I just ate.
My cake came out gooey it did not come out done at all.😮😮😢😢
I can’t thank u enough for this recipe Dennis,it is delicious 🤤
Wonderful!
Well that's that :( , can't stand sour cream.
I can't find the other video so that I can comment, so I'll just post it here. I'm going to try your pancakes recipe, but I was thinking did you ever try adding the cocoa to the pancake mix?
Haven't tried that, but there's no reason that wouldn't work, if you are seeking a chocolate taste to your pancakes. Unsweetened cocoa is not a problem with carbs.
You could melt the chocolate over the cake..
Wow! I can't wait to make this cake ! I love chocolate and coffee ! I do not have sour cream nor the heavy cream today with me! Thank you so much brother Dennis! I can never miss a single video ! I learn something new each time I watch your videos! I love to see your sweetheart , a true help mete working with you ! She is so beautiful !!
Thanks, Gracie!
🎵Dennis is great, he made us chocolate cake!🎶 I also have a fascination with oil lamps and lanterns.
Whenever I pass, come to our neighborhood. I have a feeling you can get some great deals on lamps at a big garage sale Benedicta will probably have! :)
Thanks so much, Dennis. Please note that the links to purchase the books are showing "Not Found"
I'll check that. Thanks.
in the uk buying almond floor is like buying genuine epson ink.... if i try this will be substituted with coconut flour
Flax seed powder can work for some things, but isn't quite as tasty IMO.
