Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond meal (or almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder (or additional unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup granulated erythritol (or granulated sugar)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2/3 cup keto chocolate syrup (or chocolate syrup of choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond meal, unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in water, granulated erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir well until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  4. Bake the Cake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Use an additional sheet of parchment if needed to smooth the top. Bake on the center rack for about 16 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch. Some ovens may require additional time; bake accordingly.
  5. Cool and Poke Holes: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake using a toothpick, chopstick, or fork to create spaces for the syrup to seep in.
  6. Pour Chocolate Syrup: Evenly drizzle the keto chocolate syrup over the cake, letting it seep into the holes for enhanced moisture and flavor.
  7. Frost and Serve: Frost the cake as desired, using your favorite frosting or keto-friendly options. Slice and serve for a delectable low-carb treat.

Notes

  • For best results, use almond meal rather than finely ground almond flour to achieve a better cake texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of erythritol according to taste preference.
  • If not strictly keto, you can substitute with regular granulated sugar and chocolate syrup.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and make removal easier.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before poking holes to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • Syrup can be any low-carb chocolate syrup or homemade keto-friendly chocolate sauce.
