Instructions

CAKE:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper and sides of pan so cake will remove easily.
  • Stir together peanut butter powder, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large mixing bowl.
  • Add eggs, coconut cream, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter evenly between the two cake pans.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean and cake tests done.
  • Cool on racks for about 10 minutes, then remove cake from pans and cool on rack completely before frosting.

FROSTING:

  • Beat butter in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Add powdered sweetener, peanut butter powder, vanilla extract, and half the almond milk. 
  • Beat on low speed until blended. Then beat on high speed, adding in remaining almond milk as needed to get desired consistency.

Notes

Add in up to ¼ cup of low carb chocolate chips to add in a richer chocolate flavor.
To enhance the chocolate flavor, add 2 heaping teaspoons of instant coffee or espresso powder.
