Ready in just 24 minutes, it’s an easy and satisfying treat that can be enjoyed by anyone seeking a healthier chocolate cake option.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, erythritol (or sugar), and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir very well until you get a smooth, uniform batter.
  4. Spread batter into pan: Pour the batter into the greased pan and use a sheet of parchment paper if needed to smooth down the surface evenly.
  5. Bake the cake: Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 14 minutes. The cake should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  6. Cool before frosting: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before applying any frosting or toppings.
  7. Optional layering: This recipe makes one layer; double the ingredients if you want to create a two-layer cake.

Notes

  • This cake is keto-friendly and low in carbohydrates, suitable for low-carb diets.
  • Use erythritol for a sugar-free version or substitute with regular sugar if not following a keto diet.
  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting or sliding.
  • To make a two-layer cake, simply double all the ingredients and bake in two pans.
  • Almond flour and Dutch cocoa powder give the cake its rich flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake to keep the cake moist and tender.
