Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup allulose (granulated)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 2 cups keto frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease two 9-inch cake pans thoroughly and place a circular layer of parchment paper at the bottom of each pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 room temperature eggs and 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth and well combined. Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add 2 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 cup allulose into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect the cake’s texture.
  4. Pour batter and bake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 27 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and frost: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pans on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and spread the 2 cups of keto frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake layers.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and cake structure.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and fluffy.
  • The allulose sweetener helps keep the cake keto-friendly; do not substitute with regular sugar.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting of the frosting.
  • You can store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
