Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or 1 cup almond flour + 1/2 cup coconut flour)
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed or natural)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 22–26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing.
  8. While cooling, heat 3/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream until just steaming.
  9. Pour over 6 oz chopped sugar-free dark chocolate and let sit 1–2 minutes.
  10. Stir ganache gently until smooth, let cool slightly, then pour over cooled cake for a glossy finish.

Notes

Add espresso powder to the batter for a mocha version.

Store in fridge for 4–5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.

Top with fresh raspberries or sugar-free whipped cream for a festive twist.
