Ingredients
For the Cake Layers:
- 3 cups (360 g) almond flour
- 1/3 cup (32 g) pure whey protein powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons (3 g) baking powder
- 1/2 cup (48 g) unsweetened cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (360 ml) of coconut oil, softened (or use ghee)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
- Stevia/erythritol to taste
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk
For the Chocolate Coconut Ganache Filling:
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 3.5 oz (100 g) 100% dark chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Stevia/erythritol to taste
For the Chocolate Frosting:
- 3.5 oz (100 g) 100% dark chocolate, melted
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Stevia/erythritol to taste
- Extra dark chocolate, shaved (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the cake layers.
- Line 2 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper (make sure to line both the base and sides of the pan).
- Divide the cake batter between the 2 pans and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Check the cake is done by inserting a cocktail stick and making sure it comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the chocolate filling and place in fridge to thicken.
- Then in a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the chocolate frosting and refrigerate for around 1 hour for it to thicken.
- When the cake layers are baked, let them cool for at least 30 minutes so they’re not too hot.
- If the tops of the cakes are not flat, then you can gently cut off the top of one of them to make it flatter.
- Spread the chocolate filling on one of the cakes and place the other cake on top to form the top layer.
- Stir the chocolate frosting gently with a fork to make it form a frosting consistency (if it’s too hard, then let it melt a bit at room temperature, or if it’s too liquidy, place it back in the fridge for a bit).
- Spread the frosting on the cake and add any additional decorations you want.
