KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish with butter. Be generous when greasing to ensure the cake releases easily from the pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, stevia, and vanilla extract.
• Gradually whisk in the almond flour and cocoa powder.
• Finally, whisk in the kosher salt and the baking soda. The batter will be quite thick.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top out with a rubber spatula. Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, 18-20 minutes.
• Cool the cake, in the pan, completely, about 1 hour, then frost if you wish.
• To make the frosting, place all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk by hand. Or beat with an electric handheld mixer on low speed until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
