Keto Friendly Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other low-carb milk of your choice)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional toppings:

• Dark chocolate shavings
• Fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or use parchment paper to line the bottom for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

6. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

8. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cake has cooled, frost it with the chocolate whipped cream frosting.

10. Optional: Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings and/or fresh berries on top for added decoration and flavor.
