Ingredients

Scale

4 eggs 

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup almond milk (or any other milk)

2 cups (220g) almond flour

1/2 cup granular swerve

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting:

4 tbsps. cocoa powder

2/3 cup confectioners swerve

Just over 1 cup (250g) mascarpone

2/3 cup heavy cream (make sure it's cold)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two 8 or 7 inch pans with parchment paper (I used 7 inch pans, so it will be a little thinner in 8 inch ones).
  2. Next, sift all of your dry ingredients (cocoa powder, baking powder, almond flour, granular swerve) into a large bowl. Then add in the rest of your ingredients and whisk everything together until well incorporated.
  3. Divide batter evenly between 2 pans and bake for about 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick to make sure it's completely baked.
  4. Let the cake cool in the pans for a bit, then on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  5. For the frosting sift the cocoa powder and confectioners swerve into a mixing bowl, then add in the mascarpone and heavy cream.  Mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until it holds its shape. Be careful to not overbeat, it can become grainy. 
  6. Frost the bottom layer of your cake, put the other layer on top, and frost the rest of the cake.
