# Ingredients:
→ Chocolate Cake Base
01 -
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
02 -
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 -
3/4 cup Monk fruit sweetener (granular)
05 -
5 eggs, large
06 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
07 -
1/2 cup melted chocolate (sugar-free)
08 -
3 teaspoons baking powder
09 -
1/4 cup coconut flour
10 -
2 cups almond flour
→ Chocolate Mousse Topping
11 -
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
12 -
1/2 cup powdered Monk fruit sweetener
13 -
1 cup heavy cream
# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and let it warm up.
02 -
Crack the eggs into a big bowl and beat them well. Mix in the Monk fruit sweetener (granular), vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and baking powder. Stir until smooth.
03 -
Mix in the softened butter. Melt the sugar-free chocolate (microwave it for 45-60 seconds), and then stir it into the bowl until the batter becomes silky smooth.
04 -
Carefully fold in the almond flour and coconut flour using a spatula. The mixture will thicken as you go.
05 -
Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with grease and pour the batter in. Put it in the oven for about 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick comes out clean. Cool it completely before decorating.
06 -
For the mousse, pour the cream into a chilled medium bowl (placing it in the freezer earlier helps). Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add powdered Monk fruit and cocoa powder, then use a spatula to gently fold it in. Avoid whipping too much.
07 -
Once the cake is fully cool, spread the mousse generously across the top and sides. Store any leftovers in the fridge and finish within 4 days.
# Notes:
01 -
Pop your bowl in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping cream to make it work faster.
02 -
Mix in a tablespoon of coffee granules for a deeper chocolate taste.
03 -
Garnish with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or shaved sugar-free chocolate for a fancy touch.
