Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered swerve, golden Lakanto, or keto friendly sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly brewed and cooled espresso
  • 3 Large eggs

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375F and prepare an 8-inch non-stick round cake pan. Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit into the bottom of the pan. Spray paper and sides of pan with non stick spray.
Step 2
Place sugar free chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir. Continue heating and stirring in 30-second increments until chocolate is melted and smooth. Do not overcook.
Step 3
Add the eggs and sweetener to a large bowl or stand mixer. Whip on high for 1-2 minutes until light and frothy. Add cacao powder and beat until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the batter into prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Run a knife around the edges of the cake to separate it from the pan. Put a large plate upside down on top of the cake pan and quickly invert the cake onto a plate. Peel off and discard the parchment paper.
Step 6
Let cool completely and refrigerate overnight. Dust with extra keto friendly powdered sugar and garnish with a berry if desired.
