- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered erythritol and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy your delicious Keto Chocolate Cake! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
