Cake:
1 1/4 cups Atkins Bake Mix
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and finely ground
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
24 packets sugar substitute
4 eggs, separated
Chocolate-Mint Mousse:
2 cups cream
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate extract
3 scoops (3/4 cup) Atkins Chocolate Shake Mix
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
1/2 cup raspberries, for garnish
mint sprigs, for garnish
1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two 8 cake pans,
dust with cocoa powder. In a medium bowl, whisk bake
mix, cocoa, pecans, baking powder and salt. In a large
bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat butter until
fluffy, about five minutes. Add egg yolks, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Add dry mixture, one
third at a time, beating until just combined.
2. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Add sugar substitute; beat until stiff. In three additions,
fold egg whites into chocolate mixture; combine
thoroughly. Divide batter in prepared pans; smooth tops.
Bake 20 minutes, or until cake springs back when
touched in the middle. Cool in pans on racks 5 minutes;
invert onto racks to cool completely.
3. For mousse: mix instant coffee granules in vanilla and
chocolate extracts until dissolved. Whip cream with an
electric mixer until soft peaks form; add coffee mixture.
Add shake mix and mint extract. Continue beating until
smooth and firm. Chill 30 minutes.
4. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with
half of mousse filling, leaving a 1/2" border. Top with
remaining cake layer and mousse. Garnish with
raspberries and mint leaves

When you have a little extra time, and want to pull out all the
stops, this recipe is the one to try. To guild the lily, we've
included a simple recipe for chocolate mint mousse filling (also
great by itself!).
