👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, erythritol, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Frosting: In a saucepan, combine shredded coconut, chopped pecans, heavy cream, erythritol, cocoa powder, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.
- Assemble Cake: Once cakes and frosting are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your delicious Keto German Chocolate Cake!
