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, sift together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 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 pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and homogeneous without any lumps.
- Bake the Cake: Transfer the batter into the greased cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This will help the cake set and enhance its texture.
Notes
- Use erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener to keep the cake low-carb.
- Melted coconut oil adds moisture and richness; ensure it is not hot when mixing with eggs to avoid cooking them.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other unsweetened nut milk if preferred.
- To add texture, consider folding in sugar-free chocolate chips or nuts before baking.
- For best results, store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
