Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups super-fine almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan. Whisk together almond flour, cocoa, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla.
  3. Fold wet mixture into dry ingredients, scrape into the pan, and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the center springs back. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack.
  5. Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy, then mix in powdered sweetener and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
  6. Frost the completely cooled cake and slice.

Notes

Cool the cake fully before frosting or the cream cheese will slide. For the cleanest slices, chill the frosted cake for 30 minutes before cutting.
