Chocolate Almond Flour Cake

I wanted to make a lower carb chocolate cake - so found and made a Chocolate Almond Flour Cake.

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup blanched finely ground almond flour (4 oz)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)
• 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (not fine salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch glass pie plate with a circle of parchment paper. Grease the pan well with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together.
   The batter will be fairly thin.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until center is set, and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. (I needed to cook for 40 minutes, so I upped the temperature to 350 from the original recipe.)
5. Cool the cake on a cooling rack until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes. Either sprinkle with some powdered sugar, or top with your preferred frosting.
6. Keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to a week.

Carole's Notes:

I liked this - it was fluffy and chocolate! It is lioghtly sweet - if you are not adding a frosting you may want to add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
