The Amazing Uber Chocolate Cake*

As I expected, this turned out so good that really I can't think that the average person could tell the difference between this and a "regular" piece of cake.

It was wonderfully chocolaty without that metal or bitter taste that artificial sugar seems to create with chocolate.

This recipe makes a single layer, but is quite easy to double and thus make a lovely two layer cake. Of course you could go quite mad and make a three layer as well.

"Frost" with the mousse I posted yesterday or a regular ganache or sugar free buttercream.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 c sugar substitute of your choice
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 3 1/2 tbsp almond flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 c cream
  • 1 tbsp chia seed, ground in a coffee grinder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Whisk the eggs until lemony and fluffy with the sugar. 
  2. Add the butter while continuing to whisk (with a KitchenAid or other mixer)
  3. Add the balance of the ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes in a 320 oven.
  5. Cool completely on a rack and then turn out onto a serving plate. 
SERVES: 8

NOTES: Have fun with this. Add ground nuts to the filling or to the top of the frosted cake. You could add chocolate chips to the filling as well. Fresh strawberries can cover the top for decoration. This makes a great celebration cake for a birthday or special holiday.
