# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 165°C.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt until evenly blended.
03 -
In a separate container, stir the warm cream or almond milk with white vinegar and set aside.
04 -
In a large bowl, whisk coconut oil, monkfruit erythritol, Sukrin brown sugar sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the cream and vinegar mixture and whisk again until fully combined.
05 -
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until a thick batter forms.
06 -
Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) cake pan and pour in the batter, smoothing the top evenly.
07 -
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the edges start pulling away from the pan and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
08 -
Allow the cake to cool in the pan before gently loosening the sides and turning it out onto a plate of similar size.
09 -
Place chocolate chips and butter in a bowl. Heat heavy cream until nearly boiling and pour over the chocolate mixture. Let stand for 40 seconds, then stir until smooth.
10 -
While stirring the glaze, mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
11 -
Pour the smooth glaze evenly over the cooled cake and use a spatula to spread it uniformly.
12 -
Allow the glaze to set completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, add toppings of choice.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Adjust sweetener to taste. Allow cake to cool fully before glazing for best results. Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber and sugar alcohols from total carbohydrates.
