Ingredients

  • Ingredients can be ordered in my Amazon Shop here affiliate
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup Swerve granulated
  • 1/4 teaspoon glycerite stevia
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • dash salt
  • 6 tablespoons strong coffee or 1/3 cup red wine such as merlot

Instructions

  • Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter cake pan. Line with parchment paper, butter again. This ensure the parchment paper stays in place. Make sure the sides are buttered very well.
  • Beat whipped cream until soft peaks form (not stiff) and set aside. I did this first and transferred to a separate cold bowl and then used my standing mixer to mix eggs and sugar.
  • Mix eggs with Swerve (powdered erythritol) in blender or Vitamix for five minutes on medium.
  • Put cocoa, olive oil, coffee, (or wine) in bowl over simmering water, until mixed.
  • Set aside until egg/sugar mixture is ready.
  • Fold ¼ egg mixture into chocolate mixture, stirring well.
  • Fold this chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture.
  • Fold in whipped cream.
  • Pour into prepared cake pan. Put cake pan into baking pan. Pour hot water up to 1 inch of cake pan.
  • Bake at 350 F. degrees for one hour. Test for doneness when toothpick comes out clean.
  • Turn off oven and keep cake in oven for 30 minutes with oven door ajar.
  • Remove from water bath and allow cake to cool thoroughly before removing from pan.
  • Serve at room temperature to retain that silky light texture.
  • You can serve cold, but texture will become much more dense. I like it both ways.
  • Serve with stabilized whipped cream.

Notes

At 10 servings per cake, the cake is 3 net carbs. This is without topping or fruit.
See Option in post for Using Dark Chocolate  instead of cocoa powder. (brings cake to 10 net carbs).
IF YOU USE CHOCOLATE: 
Add in 10 ounces of melted dark chocolate (I use 72% cacao.)
Reduce powdered erythritol to 6 tablespoons. 
Eliminate olive oil and cocoa powder.
