Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Butter (unsalted, softened)
- 1.5 cups Erythritol sweetener
- 4 Eggs (large, room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 6 ounces Sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry mixture and almond milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix just until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the vanilla cream filling, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add the powdered erythritol, then mix in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
For the chocolate ganache, heat the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the vanilla cream filling on top. Add the second cake layer and spread the remaining cream filling over the top.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides for a dramatic effect. Smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.
Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Slice and enjoy your sugar-free tuxedo cake!
