• timp total: 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingrediente

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, not cold; 112 grams)

1/4 cup heavy cream (room temperature)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (20 grams, sifted)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite (equals 1/2 cup powdered sugar)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for pan)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled; 112 grams)

2 teaspoons stevia glycerite (equals 2/3 cup sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour (112 grams; see notes below)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-processed; 40 grams)

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instrucțiuni

To make the frosting, place all the frosting ingredients (soft unsalted butter, heavy cream, sifted cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and stevia glycerite) in a medium bowl and whisk them by hand until smooth. Alternatively, beat them with an electric handheld mixer on low speed until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Set aside. (See notes below on how to ensure smooth frosting.)

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with butter. Be generous when greasing to ensure the cake releases easily from the pan. You can also line the bottom with a square of parchment paper and then grease the paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, stevia, and vanilla extract.

Gradually whisk in the almond flour and cocoa powder. Whisk in the kosher salt and baking soda. The batter will be quite thick.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.

Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for about 1 hour.

Frost the cake using an offset spatula. If you skip the frosting, I recommend dusting it with a powdered sweetener to make it look pretty.

Cut the cake into 9 squares and serve.
