Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Erythritol (or preferred granulated sweetener)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk, and whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips for added richness.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into 12 pieces and enjoy your low-carb chocolate indulgence!
