- 1.5 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk unsweeteed
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon plain full fat yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoon coconut flour
- 1.5 tablespoon cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 5 tablespoon almond flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Hot Chocolate Sauce
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk unsweetened (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (or coconut cream)
- ½ teaspoon Swerve confectioners
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips chopped (at least 75%, dark chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/16 pinch gluccomannan (xanthan or ground chia)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C / 160 fan. Grease ramekins (4 inches wide x 2 inches tall) generously with butter.
- Add the egg and low-carb sweetener to a mixing bowl. Cream together using an electric whisk for about 2 minutes until pale in color. Add the butter, almond milk, vanilla and yogurt and whisk again until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and whisk or stir to combine. Don't over whisk or it will result in heavier cakes.
- Place the batter evenly into the ramekins and bake for about 9 -12 minutes until you can insert and remove a skewer without many crumbs sticking. Don't over bake as they will firm up as they cool.
Hot Chocolate Sauce
- Place the almond milk, cream, Swerve and vanilla into a saucepan. Bring to a low simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate and almond butter. Allow to melt. Stir and adjust the sweetness to taste. Option to thicken with pinch of gluconoman, xanthan or ground chia. Note: allow a minute or two for it to thicken before adding more as it will thicken as it cools.
- Pour the hot chocolate sauce over the cakes to serve.
Storage
- Store in the fridge for 2 days.
