Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease it.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Make sure there are no lumps.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and evenly distribute it.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and set it aside to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. The cake should then be carefully inverted onto a wire rack to cool entirely.
8. Frost the cooled cake with your choice of keto-friendly frosting or ganache, if desired. You can use whipped cream sweetened with stevia, cream cheese frosting sweetened with erythritol, or a ganache made with dark chocolate and heavy cream.
9. Slice the cake into 12 servings and enjoy!

Tips:

• Feel free to customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of erythritol or using your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
• Make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the coconut oil from solidifying when mixed with cold ingredients.
• You can add a pinch of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolate flavor of the cake.
• Refrigerate any leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

This keto chocolate cake is a delicious treat that can satisfy your chocolate cravings while staying within your low-carb lifestyle. Enjoy it as a dessert or for a special occasion!
