Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup espresso
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup powdered erythritol
• 2 ounces dark chocolate, grated
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, stirring until you form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Step 7

Once cooled, cut the cake into finger-sized pieces or squares to fit your chosen serving dish.

Step 8

In a shallow dish, pour the espresso and lightly dip each piece of cake into it, soaking both sides briefly.

Step 9

For the mascarpone cream, beat mascarpone cheese and heavy cream together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add powdered erythritol and continue to beat until fully incorporated.

Step 10

In your serving dish, layer half of the soaked cake pieces at the bottom.

Step 11

Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the cake layer evenly.

Step 12

Repeat the layers with the remaining cake and mascarpone cream.

Step 13

Sprinkle grated dark chocolate over the top for a rich finish.

Step 14

Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder just before serving.

Step 15

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
