INGREDIENTS
Mini Chocolate Cake:
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp Swerve Sweetener
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
German Chocolate Frosting:
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1 tbsp Bocha Sweet (or an additional tbsp powdered Swerve)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup flaked coconut
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease three 4-inch ramekins or mini cake pans well. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Whisk in the butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Divide between the prepared baking dishes and bake 10 to 15 minute or until set and firm to the touch.
- Let cool in pans, then run a sharp knife around the inside of the ramekins and flip out. If your cake layers have humps, slice the tops off to make them flat and even.
German Chocolate Frosting:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, egg yolk, sweetener, and butter. Cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully the whole time.
- Remove from heat and stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Let cool a few minutes as it will continue to thicken up (if it’s too thin, whisk in a teaspoon of coconut flour to help thicken it).
To Assemble:
- Place one layer of cake on a plate and top with about 1/3 of the frosting. Repeat with the remaining layers and frosting.
