Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Granulated Erythritol
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

For the Chocolate Frosting

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Erythritol
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream

For the Ganache Drip

  • 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream

Equipment

  • 8-inch round cake pans
  • electric mixer
  • wire rack
  • offset spatula

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the eggs, melted butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms with no dry pockets. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips gently.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
    Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cakes cool, make the frosting. Beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Sift in the 1/3 cup cocoa powder and powdered erythritol, then add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is thick, creamy, and well combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of chocolate frosting on top. Set the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting, smoothing it with an offset spatula.
  • For the ganache drip, heat the 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour it over the 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until completely smooth and glossy.
  • Let the ganache cool for 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly, then slowly pour it over the top of the cake, using a spoon to guide it over the edges for a drip effect. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing to let everything set.
