This chocolate cake recipe makes a 3 layer cake, if you wish for a smaller cake, divide the recipe in half.

You can add to the filling chopped hazelnuts, or any nut or berry you like. In this recipe I added chopped strawberries.

For the buttercream filling, is it very important that the ingredients are at room temperature.


Ingredients:

Chocolate cake - 3 layers
 2 cups almond flour
 1 cup cocoa powder
 1 cup xylitol
 3 tsp baking powder
 6 Eggs
 2 tsp vanilla extract
 1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
 170 g unsalted butter
Buttercream Filling
 230 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
 230 g cream cheese (at room temperature)
 ½ cup powdered xylitol
 2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache
 100 g dark chocolate
 ½ cup heavy cream
 3 tbsp unsalted butter
 3 tbsp powdered xylitol

Directions:

For the chocolate cake
1

Preheat oven to 175C/350F.

2

In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, xylitol and baking powder.

3

If your ingredients are grainy, pulse them in a coffee grinder until they are smooth (optional).

4

6

7

Put on the second oven rack from below, and make sure there is no heat coming directly from above.

8

Bake for 20 minutes, you know it is done when a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.

9

Allow the cakes to cool in their tray, for best results (to avoid cracking), allow to cool overnight in the fridge.

Buttercream Filling
10

Add the butter and cream cheese to a large bowl. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until evenly combined, about 2 minutes.

11

Add the sweetener, starting with the lower amount, and continue to beat until pale and fluffy (6-8 minutes). Feel free to scrape the bowl as needed, and adjust sweetness to taste. Add vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated.

Chocolate ganache
