INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALMOND MILK:

• The cake will be moistened and made softer by the almond milk. To keep the dessert keto, choose the unsweetened variety. For this, utilize the coconut milk alternatively.

BLACK COCOA POWDER:

• We have to utilize black cocoa powder, as it will provide an intense chocolate flavor and a strong black color to this cake. As a replacement, you can use dutch-processed cocoa powder, sugar-free melted dark chocolate, or dark cocoa powder.

BUTTER:

• It will soften the cake and provide moisture and flavor. Replace the avocado oil, ghee, or coconut oil as needed.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• Erythritol powder is used to give the cake a sweet flavor. To avoid lumps, use the powdered sweetener. Utilize erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit as another choice.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We might utilize almond flour since it will give this black cake a silky and solid texture. It can be swapped out for ground flaxseed meal or a little amount of coconut flour.
