Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour: 1 1/2 cups, fine blanched
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/2 cup (Dutch-process or natural)
  • Granulated erythritol or monk fruit blend: 3/4 cup (adjust to taste)
  • Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Fine sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Eggs: 3 large, room temperature
  • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted and slightly cooled (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • Unsweetened almond milk: 1/2 cup (or another low-carb milk)
  • Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips: 1/2 cup (plus extra for topping, optional)
  • Optional add-ins: 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, or 1/2 cup chopped walnuts/pecans
  • Pan: 8x8-inch square baking dish (metal or glass)
  • Grease: 1 tablespoon butter or oil for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pan and oven. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 baking dish with butter or oil, making sure to coat the corners.
  • Add dry ingredients to the pan. In the pan, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Break up any cocoa clumps so the batter mixes evenly.
  • Add wet ingredients. Crack in the eggs, pour in melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla. If using espresso powder or cinnamon, add them now.
  • Mix right in the pan. Use a spatula or whisk to stir until smooth and glossy. Scrape down the sides so no dry pockets remain.
  • Fold in chocolate chips. Stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips (and nuts if using). Sprinkle a few extra chips on top for a bakery look.
  • Bake. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 22–28 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center should look slightly soft but not jiggly. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Rest and slice. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. This helps it set into a fudgy texture that slices cleanly.
  • Serve. Enjoy warm or at room temp. Add a dollop of whipped cream or a few raspberries for a simple finish.
