Chocolate almond butter cake
Dense as a brownie, made almost entirely from almond butter and cocoa.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter (250 g / 9 oz)
- ½ cup white or brown sugar (100 g / 3½ oz) — no added sugar: ¾ cup erythritol (142 g)
- ½ cup cocoa powder (45 g / 1½ oz)
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (5 g)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, or water (60 g / 2 oz)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a small 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 in) pan.
- In a stand mixer, beat the almond butter, sugar and cocoa until creamy.
The full method (6 steps), Rico's tip, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Desserts”. The English edition is coming soon.
