Keto Mississippi Mud Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, keto-friendly sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the baking dish.
9. Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
10. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the frosting, then refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving.
