INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We use almond flour because it gives the cake a soft, moist texture while keeping it low in carbs. As a different option, you might utilize sunflower seed flour.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour offers the cake structure and aids in moisture uptake. Instead, you can use extra almond flour.
POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- We utilize powdered erythritol to sweeten the cake without adding sugar. Utilize monk fruit sweetener as another choice.
BUTTER:
- Butter retains the cake’s moisture and offers depth. As a further choice, we may use coconut oil.
AVOCADO OIL:
- We use avocado oil to make the cake soft and tender. Instead, you can use melted coconut oil.
ALMOND MILK:
- Almond milk retains the recipe low in carbs and non-dairy while delivering moisture. Unsweetened coconut milk may be utilized in its place.
HEAVY CREAM:
- This cream creates an indulgent and silky frosting. As a replacement, you can use full-fat coconut cream.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese gives the frosting a smooth texture and slightly tangy flavor. You can replace it with mascarpone cheese.
HOT BREWED COFFEE:
- Hot brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor. Instead, you can use hot water.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract boosts the cake’s flavor and provides an additional sweetness. As a different option, we could utilize vanilla bean paste.
