Ingredients

Cake

2 cups almond flour
3/4 cup allulose Use one cup if you like very sweet cake.
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter soft
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs room temperature
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk see post for tips

Instructions

Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients for the cake until combined.
In a smaller mixing bowl, mix all wet ingredients for the cake until combined.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until combined.
Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans, or three six inch pans. Generously butter the sides and use parchment paper on the bottoms to prevent sticking. Evenly pour batter into the pans.
Place the pans into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes(ovens and pan size will cause this to vary) until it looks dry and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool completely before removing from the pan or it will fall apart.
Frosting
In a large mixing bowl, whip all ingredients together until fluffy with a hand mixer.
To assemble: place first cake on work surface and spread frosting over the top. Place second cake layer and add frosting, repeat and smooth frosting over top and the sides.
Add any optional toppings, berries, chocolate shavings or chocolate chips that you like.
