Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sweetener: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice) until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Cream Cheese and Eggs: Add the softened cream cheese to the butter mixture and beat until smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Incorporate Vanilla and Almond Milk: Mix in the vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the unsweetened almond milk, and mix until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips on top for added decadence.

Variations:

  • For added texture and flavor, you can fold in chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts into the batter before baking.
  • Experiment with different extracts such as peppermint or almond for unique flavor variations.
