Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, granulated erythritol, and whey protein isolate until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the unsweetened almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until you obtain a smooth batter.
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cake slices, either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low-carb, high-protein indulgence!
