Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

cooking spray
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 ½ cups almond flour
⅓ cup coconut flour
⅓ cup powdered stevia baking blend
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
½ cup powdered stevia baking blend
¼ cup cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
6 drops liquid stevia
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and dust with cocoa.
  • Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, stevia blend, flaxseed meal, espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat together eggs and butter using a large stand mixer or electric hand mixer and mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the almond flour mixture. Continue mixing and add 1/4 cup almond milk at a time until mixture is thick and frosting-like in consistency. Carefully spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven.
  • Meanwhile for the frosting, combine cream cheese, butter, stevia blend, cocoa, vanilla extract, espresso powder, liquid stevia, and salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
  • Remove cake from the oven when a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Frost cake.
