Ingredients
• The Flourless Base: 1 cup Almond Flour (replaces traditional flour).
• The Cocoa: 1/4 cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
• The Sweetener: 1/2 cup Monk Fruit or Erythritol.
• The Bind: 2 large Eggs and 1/4 cup melted Butter (or Coconut Oil).
• Moisture Boost: 1/4 cup unsweetened Almond Milk and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
• The Lift: 1 tsp Baking Powder and a pinch of salt.
• The Glossy Topping: 1/2 recipe of your Sugar-Free White Chocolate Ganache (or dark chocolate version).
Preparation Steps
1. Whisk Dry: In a microwave-safe glass dish (like the one in your photo), whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet: Stir in the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla until the batter is smooth and glossy.
3. The “5-Minute” Bake: Smooth the top with a spatula. Microwave on high for 4–5 minutes.
• Note: Microwave times vary; start checking at 4 minutes. The center should be set but still look moist.
4. The Ganache Pour: While the cake is warm, pour your sugar-free chocolate ganache over the top. Let it seep into the edges to create that “melts in your mouth” experience.
5. Serve: Slice into squares directly from the dish, exactly like your beautiful picture.
Why This Fits Your “Healthy Treasure” Collection
