Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Orange extract
- 1 tablespoon Zest of one orange
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they become frothy. Gradually add the melted butter, vanilla extract, orange extract, orange zest, and heavy cream while mixing.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Garnish with additional orange zest and shaved sugar-free dark chocolate before serving.
