Instructions
Chocolate Cake from Scratch
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees, 180 C.
- Mix all dry ingredients, except Swerve, together including sifted cocoa. Set aside.
- Mix oil and Swerve together.
- Add eggs one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add vanilla.
- Mix milk and sour cream together. Add to egg mixture.
- Add dry ingredients to these wet ingredients.
- Add boiling water and mix.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the center is 210. F. You will get 12-14 cupcakes.
- Once out of oven, make topping and pour over warm cake.
- Do not make the glaze topping until the cakes are out of the oven as it will harden.
Chocolate Glaze Topping
- Combine the cocoa, cream, Swerve and butter for the frosting together in a saucepan. Do not put butter in first. Do not melt butter before adding other ingredients or it will separate. Continue stirring.
- Bring to a slow boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla.
- Add two tablespoons of milk if needed. Stir in pecans.
- Spoon over each cupcake.
Notes
Re: Xanthan Gum: It's not necessary. It does help to keep cake from being too crumbly, so I add a touch to my keto baked goods. You do not have to use it.
