Ingredients:
– 1 cup almond flour
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and keto-friendly sweetener until light and fluffy. Either a manual whisk or an electric mixer can be used for this.
- One at a time, add the eggs, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix just till mixed after gradually incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet ones and be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. To the touch, the cake should feel solid.
- The cake should be taken out of the oven and allowed to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan then move it to a wire rack to complete cooling after that.
- Once the cake is cooled, you can serve it as is or add a dusting of powdered keto-friendly sweetener on top for a finishing touch.
