Ingredients
Chocolate Cake
- 5 eggs (size M/L)
- 125 g Finesse baking sweetener
- 100 g melted butter
- 200 g heavy cream
- 100 g almond flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 40 g oat fiber
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 6–8 drops vanilla essence
Chocolate Frosting
- 140 g room-temperature butter
- 200 g room-temperature natural cream cheese
- 80 g Finesse baking sweetener
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp instant coffee mixed with a few tablespoons of warm water
How to Make It
1. Bake the cake
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F (top and bottom heat).
Whisk the eggs and sweetener until light and fluffy. This step is important — it gives the cake its soft, airy texture.
Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth, glossy batter.
Line the bottom of a round cake pan with baking paper and pour in the batter.
Bake on the middle rack for about 40 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
2. Make the chocolate frosting
Whisk all the frosting ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
The instant coffee deepens the chocolate flavor without making it taste like coffee — it’s a little secret that makes this cake taste extra luxurious.
Spread the frosting generously over the cooled cake.
