Ingredients
DRY INGREDIENTS
- 90 g Coconut flour
- 12 g Baking powder
- 4 g Baking soda
- 4 g Salt
- 120 g Monk fruit
- 35 g Unsweetened Cocoa powder
WET INGREDIENTS
- 6 Whole Eggs
- 315 ml Whipping Cream
- 100 ml Unsalted Melted Butter
- 10 ml Vanilla Extract
INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING
- 113 g Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 45-65 g Powdered sweetener
- 25 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3-4 tbsp Hot water
- 125 g Roasted chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
- In a bowl, sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda together. Then add the sweetener and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter is smooth and moderately thick.
- In the video, I used a 9×13 inch pan lined with parchment paper. You can also use any suitable pan. Transfer the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Bake at the middle rack for about 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Meanwhile, make the frosting.
- Add all the ingredients into a bowl (except the pecans). Add 2 to 3 tbsp of hot water first. Then whisk to combine. If the cream is too thick, add another tbsp of hot water until you get the right consistency. I added a total of 4 tbsp to get the consistency I wanted. It could be different for you. They key is to add more or less hot water to adjust the thickness of the cream.
- Add the roasted chopped pecans and mix with a spatula to combine.
- You can frost the cake while still warm or at room temperature.
- Pour the cream onto the top of the cake and spread evenly. As my cake was still warm, I chilled it in the fridge for about 30 minutes until the frosting is set enough. The longer you chill the cake, the firmer the frosting will become.
- The cake can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
