Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 whole Eggs, large
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa, chopped)
• 0 Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
• 0 Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs until foamy, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, until you form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth out the top with the spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the torte's center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the torte bakes, prepare the chocolate ganache topping. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.

Step 8

Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate to the warmed cream. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Once the torte is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove the springform rim.

Step 10

Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the torte while it’s still warm, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 11

Allow the torte to cool completely and the ganache to set before serving.

Step 12

Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh berries, if desired.
