Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (84 g) almond flour
- 1/3 cup (60.67 g) Swerve Granular
- 1 1/2 tbsp whey protein powder or egg white protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 1/2 tbsp butter (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 1 1/2 tbsp heavy whipping cream (for glaze)
- 1 1/2 tbsp water (for glaze)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 1/2 cup (91 g) powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/8 tsp glucomannan or xanthan gum
- 1/4 cup (27.25 g) chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF and grease a mini sheet pan (9.5 x 6.5 inches) very well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, water, and cocoa powder, stirring until melted. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Add to the bowl.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and cream, and stir until well combined. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake about 15 minutes until the top of the cake is just firm to the touch.
- In the same saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, cream, and water for the glaze. Bring to a simmer, stirring until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the powdered sweetener and whisk vigorously to dissolve any clumps. Whisk in the glucomannan and let cool a few minutes to thicken.
- Pour over the warm cake and sprinkle with the pecans. Let cool until the glaze is set, about 1 hour.
Notes
- For a nut-free sheet cake, use sunflower seed flour in place of the almond flour in a 1:1 ratio.
- Store any leftovers in a covered container on the counter for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
