Instructions:
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 cup erythritol, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat 4 large eggs. Add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine and Mix:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Prepare the Chocolate Coconut Ganache:
- Heat the Cream:
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Make the Ganache:
- Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips to the cream. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons shredded coconut. Let the ganache cool slightly before spreading.
Prepare the Chocolate Coconut Whipped Frosting:
- Whip the Cream:
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Add Flavorings:
- Gradually add 1/4 cup melted and cooled sugar-free chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the frosting forms stiff peaks.
- Fold in Coconut:
- Gently fold in 1/4 cup shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Assemble the Cake:
- Apply Ganache:
- Once the cake has cooled, spread a layer of the chocolate coconut ganache evenly over the top of the cake.
- Frost the Cake:
- Using a spatula, spread the chocolate coconut whipped frosting over the ganache layer, smoothing it out as you go.
- Decorate (Optional):
- Garnish the top with additional shredded coconut or a few extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve. Each slice contains approximately 5 grams of carbs, with the cake portion at 4 carbs and the frosting and ganache contributing 1 carb.
Tips:
- Cake Texture: Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Sweetener Adjustments: Adjust the amount of erythritol or other sweeteners to taste. Some people may prefer a slightly sweeter or less sweet cake.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
