THE BEST LOW CARB CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two round cake pans with parchment paper. Spray both pans with non-stick spray.
• In a medium to large bowl mix together almond flour, cocoa powders, granulated sweetener baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
• In a small to medium bowl whisk together almond milk, 1/3 c heavy cream, sour cream 2 t vanilla, and eggs.
• Pour wet into dry.
• Stir until no dry pockets are found.
• Pour into prepared pans. Bake for 15-25 minutes. Don't overbake.
• Cream together butter and cream cheese.
• Melt your chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl. I melted mine with the power reduced to 70% for 2 round of 40 seconds. Your microwave might vary.
• Add the melted chocolate to the mixer. Scrape sides as needed.
• Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and 1 cup of the sweetener. It will be thick.
• Add the 1/2 c of heavy cream but don't turn on your mixer to a high speed.
• Stop mixer scrape sides, add the 2 tablespoons of cream. Mix, scrape, and taste. Add almond milk to get to the thickness you want (I added about 1/4 cup of the almond milk). Add more sweetener as you need. Add a little at a time. I added 1/4 cup more and didn't get the cooling affect.
• Place your cooled cake on a plate. Use about 1/3 of the frosting to frost the top of the bottom layer.
• Top with second layer. Frost top and sides with the remaining frosting.
• Eat a slice. We found it didn't need to sit in the fridge overnight to taste better.

Stir all ingredients together very well, then spread into the pan. If needed, use a second sheet of parchment to smooth down. Bake 14 minutes on the center rack (some ovens require more baking time, so continue cooking until firm if needed). Let cool completely before frosting.
