Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Beat Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. If you're using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve: Once cooled, slice and serve. Optionally, you can frost the cake with your favorite keto-friendly frosting or dust it with additional erythritol.
