Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 7-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare a double boiler. In the top pan, melt the chopped chocolate and butter over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetener, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using). Gradually whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture until fully combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not completely clean.
5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

While the cake cools, prepare the Irish Moss Whip Cream:

1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream and Irish moss gel. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
2. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely before whipping.
3. Once cool, use a hand mixer or electric stand mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can become curdled.

Assemble the cake:

1. Invert the cooled cake onto a serving plate and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
2. Pipe or spread the Irish Moss Whip Cream over the top of the cake.
3. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.
