Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (93 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (54.5 g) chopped pecans
- 2 cups (224 g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (91 g) Swerve Sweetener
- 1/3 cup (28.67 g) cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (27 g) unflavoured whey protein powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 14 tbsp (143.75 g) butter, melted, divided
- 1/2 cup (118.29 ml) cold coffee or water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 ounces (226.8 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (182 g) powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/2 cup (90 g) sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a 9×13 glass or ceramic baking pan. Sprinkle the bottom with the shredded coconut and the pecans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the eggs, 6 tablespoons of the melted butter, coffee or water, and vanilla extract until well combined. Spread over the coconut and pecans.
- In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 8 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth. Beat in the powdered sweetener.
- Dollop this mixture over the cake mixture by the spoonful. Use a knife to swirl into the cake mixture, scraping all the way to the bottom in some places to mix up the coconut and pecans.
- Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, until cake is mostly set through but still a little soft and jiggly in the center.
- Remove and let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store the cake in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Be sure to wrap it tightly for the freezer to avoid freezer burn.
