Ingredients
For the Cake
- 2 cups Almond flour Provides moist texture.
- 1/2 cup Cocoa powder For rich chocolate flavor.
- 3/4 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener Keto-friendly sweetener.
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Eggs Room temperature.
- 1/2 cup Almond milk Can substitute with coconut milk.
- 1/2 cup Melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Red food coloring or beet juice For color.
For the Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz Cream cheese Can substitute with dairy-free cream cheese.
- 1/4 cup Keto sweetener
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Can skip for a pure cheesecake experience.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with coconut oil or butter and lining the bases with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- In another bowl, beat together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cheesecake Layer
- While the cakes cool, prepare the cheesecake layer. Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until soft. Gradually add in the keto sweetener, followed by the Greek yogurt, and blend until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture between the two layers. Top the cake with more cheesecake for an extra touch.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to set the cheesecake layer before serving.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Avoid lumps in the cream cheese and follow proper baking techniques to maintain moisture in cake layers. Allow time for refrigeration after assembly.
