For cake:
- 1 cup granular sweetener, I use this brand (or to taste)
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups blanched finely ground almond flour
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, I use this brand
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips, I use this brand
For Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract, I use this brand
- 2 cups granular sweetener, I use this brand (or to taste)
- 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- pinch salt
Instructions
For cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9″ cake pans. Alternately you can line it with parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, and baking powder until fully combined. Add in the butter and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer, mix until all ingredients are well combined. Crack open the eggs into the bowl and stir until completely combined, then stir in the almond milk. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and spread in an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it springs back when you touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from the pan or it may (will) fall apart.
For frosting:
- Beat room temperature cream cheese and butter until well combined and creamy.
- Add chocolate powder. Using your mixer or blender cream together evenly.
- Add the granular sweetener and mix until smooth.
- Add in heavy whipping cream and mix well.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix until the appearance becomes fluffy, this should take around 3 minutes.
