Slow Cooker Dark Chocolate Cake
Yield: 10 servings
Slow Cooker Dark Chocolate Cake
...
This might just be the best low carb chocolate cake I've ever made. So rich and moist, it doesn't need any frosting. And no need to heat up the kitchen when you cook it in your slow cooker or crockpot!
Ingredients
1 & 1/2 cups almond flour
3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup unflavoured whey protein powder
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs
3/4 cup almond or coconut milk, unsweetened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
Grease the insert of a 6 quart slow cooker well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, whey protein powder, baking powder and salt.
Stir in butter, eggs, almond milk and vanilla extract until well combined, then stir in chocolate chips, if using.
Pour into prepared insert and cook on low for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It will be gooey and like a pudding cake at 2 1/2 hours, and more cakey at 3 hours.
Turn slow cooker off and let cool 20 to 30 minutes, then cut into pieces and serve warm. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
