📖 Step-by-Step Recipe (No Fancy Tools Needed!)
🎂 The Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup keto sweetener
Instructions
- Mix dry stuff: Flour + cocoa + baking powder → whisk!
- Beat wet stuff: Eggs + butter + sweetener → mix till frothy 🥄
- Combine: Fold wet into dry → Don’t overmix!
- Bake: 325°F for 25 mins → Toothpick test!
My First Fail 😅: I once used cold eggs – the cake turned out flat! Room temp works best.
🥛 Cream Filling (Better Than Frosting!)
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
Steps
- Whip cream until soft peaks form ☁️
- Add cream cheese + sweetener → whip again!
- Spread between cake layers → Instant fancy look!
🌟 Chocolate Frosting Magic
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate (90% cocoa)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
Steps
- Melt chocolate + butter → stir!
- Add sweetener → mix till glossy ✨
- Let cool 5 mins → spread over cake
Too Thick? Add 1 tsp coconut oil! Too Thin? Chill for 10 mins ❄️
🎯 Pro Tips for First-Timers
- Measure flour right: Spoon into cup → level. No packing!
- Eggs matter: Cold eggs make dense cake → leave them out 30 mins first!
- Sweetener swap: Use 1.5x monk fruit if you hate erythritol’s cool feel.
❓ FAQ: Your Questions, Answered!
Q: Can I freeze this cake? A: Yes! Slice → wrap in parchment → freeze 3 months. Thaw overnight in fridge.
Q: Why is my cake crumbly? A: Overbaked! Check at 20 mins next time ⏰
Q: Coconut flour instead? A: ⚠️ Danger! Coconut flour needs 6 eggs + more liquid. Stick to almond for this recipe.
