This Keto Chocolate Cake is rich in flavor and has a soft and fluffy texture from the swiss meringue cream cheese buttercream. I hop you'll enjoy making it and eating it.

In a medium size bowl, mix 2 Cups Almond Flour, 1/3 Cup Coconut Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1/8 tsp Salt. Sift 2/3 cups Cocoa Powder over and mix everything well together. Pour the almond milk “buttermilk” into another medium bowl. Add 4 large egg whites, ¾ Cup Granulated Swerve, 2/3 Cups Melted Coconut Oil and 1 tsp Vanilla.

Divide between the pans and bake at 350 (177 ) for 30 minutes. Leave the cakes in the pans to cool down for 5 minutes and then immediately wrap with plastic wrap to prevent the cakes from drying out.
Swiss Meringue Cream Cheese Chocolate Buttercream
Ingredients:
3 Large egg whites (90-100 grams)
1 Cup Granular Swerve (200 grams)
1 Cup Unsalted Butter (227 grams)
1 2/3 Cups Cream Cheese (400 grams)
½ Cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (100 grams)
6 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder (44 grams)
6-8 Tbsp. Boiling Water (30 -40 grams)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (5 grams)
Preparation:
Whisk the 3 egg whites and 1 Cup Swerve over Bain Marie, until the egg whites reach 160 F (71C), which should take about 15 minutes. As soon as the egg whites reach the correct temperature, transfer the mixture into the mixer bow and whisk on high, until the bowl becomes cool to the touch, around 10 minutes. Now slowly add 1 Cup of unsalted Butter at room temperature and continue whisking for another 5 -10 minutes. Now add ½ Cup of melted chocolate chips, followed by 6 Tbsp. Cocoa powder mixed with 6-8 tbsp. boiling water. Add 1 tsp vanilla, mix, and then transfer the buttercream into another bowl. Clean the mixer bowl and now add 1 2/3 Cups room temperature cream cheese and whisk on high for 5 minutes, until the cream cheese becomes light and fluffy. Now slowly incorporate the chocolate buttercream into the whipped cream cheese, 1 spoonful at a time. Mix everything well.
