Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup erythritol or other keto-friendly sweeteners
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small cake pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry components are evenly mixed.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened almond milk, erythritol, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving to enhance texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted but not hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixing.
- Use erythritol or any other keto-friendly sweetener to maintain low carb levels.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Top with sugar-free whipped cream or keto frosting for an extra special dessert.
