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.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry components.
- 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 homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing gently to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing with eggs to prevent cooking them prematurely.
- You can substitute erythritol with other keto-approved sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit, adjusting to taste.
- Use a toothpick test to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the cake.
- For added texture, consider folding in a handful of chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips before baking.
- This cake is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
