Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 ⅓ cup / 200 g whole almonds (see notes)
½ cup / 100 g xylitol or erythritol (see notes)
3 eggs
⅞ cup / 200 g sour cream
¼ cup / 60 g butter, melted
4 tbsp / 20 g cocoa powder
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
3 tbsp / 30 g xylitol or erythritol (see notes)
⅓ cup / 70 g butter
2 tbsp / 15 g cocoa powder
3 tbsp / 40 ml water
2 tablespoon walnuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/ 350 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine almonds and xylitol. Process until a fine powder is obtained. 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 inches/ 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 with walnuts (optional).
Serve warm or cold.
For the 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 (2 cups/ 200 g) and mix it well with the sweetener to break any lumps.
Sweetener: Instead of xylitol or erythritol, you can use any low-carb sweetener of your choice. Adjust the quantity based on the sweetness level compared to sugar.
Batter: The video shows the butter and the cocoa powder being melted together and mixed into the batter at the end, which is an alternative method.
Store this cake in the fridge, covered with film, for 3-4 days.

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.
