Ingredients
1 ½ cups almond flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup powdered erythritol/monk fruit (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until well combined and set the dry mixture aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and powdered erythritol until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the unsweetened almond milk. Begin and end with the dry mixture, stirring well after each addition, until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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, you can enjoy the cake as is or frost it with your favorite keto-friendly frosting. Cream cheese frosting or a sugar-free chocolate ganache make excellent options.
- Slice the cake into portions and serve, savoring each delicious bite guilt-free!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The cake can also be frozen for longer storage.
