Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/ 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor combine almonds and xylitol. Process until fine powder. Transfer to a medium bowl and add baking powder and cocoa. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs and sour cream until smooth. Add melted butter and whisk until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a rubber spatula, until absorbed.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased pan (about 9 x 7 inch/ 23 x 20 cm or similar). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick, inserted in the center, comes out clean.
- Pour the glaze on top while the cake is still hot. Sprinkle the walnuts (optional).
- Serve warm or cold.

Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat combine all ingredients. Stir until the butter and xylitol are melted and the mixture is smooth.
Notes
- Instead of whole almonds you can use ready almond meal and mix it well with the sweetener to break any lumps. You would need 2 cups/ 200 g almond meal.
- Sweetener: Instead of xylitol or erythritol you can use any low-carb sweetener by choice. Just consider the quantity: xylitol and erythritol are more or less as sweet as sugar, even though I consider them a bit sweeter. Check the package for indication what is the sweetness in comparison to sugar and use accordingly.
- Batter: the video shows the butter and the cocoa powder being melted together and mixed into the batter at the end. This is an alternative method, which also works well.
- Store this cake in the fridge, covered with film, for 3-4 days.
