Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 12 slices

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules (optional, for enhanced chocolate flavor)

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 4 oz dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons of powdered erythritol or another sweetener suitable for keto

Instructions:

For the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A 9-inch round cake pan should be greased and lined with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and instant coffee (if using) until well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Smooth the top with a spatula after pouring the batter into the prepared cake pan.
6. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Chocolate Ganache:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. The dark chocolate pieces should be combined in a heatproof basin.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.
4. Stir in the chocolate until it is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
5. Stir in the powdered erythritol until it’s well combined.

Assembly:

1. Once the cake has cooled, spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the top of the cake.
2. Allow the ganache to set for about 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
