No-flour and/or low-carb cake: recipes wanted

[Wife]

I am hoping someone can help. I'd like to make a low-carb cake for my husband, because what he REALLY wants is a slab of cake, instead of a little bit of "real" cake. We are not big cake-at-home people, but it's nice to have on occasion.

I have a couple of questions, and would love some insight ...

1) Almond flour. I know it's ultra-low carb, but does it make good cake (or cookies)? If so, have you found that mixing it works best, and if so, how do you mix it?

2) "Flour-less" cakes. Are they worth it? Sounds a big odd to me, and very cholesterol-heavy with all of the eggs. Any experience with this?

3) Other flours? Soy flour, whole wheat, others? How do they work with cake?

4) Any recipes you'd like to share?

Thank you for your tips and advise! I will post my success or failure stories once I've given cake a shot ...

I'm sorry,I don't have a cake recipe,but I have a peanut butter cookie recipe that calls for no flour. You can make them with real sugar if you want to,but mine are made with Splenda,and to me I think they are scrumpious. 2 cups of smooth peanut butter,2 cups of splenda,(or sugar)2 eggs,1-2 teas. of vanilla.Mix this together until creamy. roll into balls and press with a fork.bake at 350 for 8 minutes I use flour only to help roll the dough. Just sprinkle on your hands and roll them out
