This Healthy Chocolate Therapy Cake is so decadent, rich, and delicious, you'd never know it's sugar-free, low carb, high protein, and gluten-free too! It’s made with healthy ingredients, none of the butter, zero white sugar, and absolutely none of the bleached flour. Chocolate Therapy Cakes tend to be, well, “therapeutic” in the sense that the cake will immerse you into a deep, food- and sugar-induced coma.

Ingredients

Garnish

2 tbsp. Full Fat Coconut Milk (canned)
8 oz. No-Sugar-Added Dark Chocolate (divided)

Frosting

10 scoops Chocolate Brown Rice Protein Powder
1 tsp. Vanilla Paste
2 tsp. Natural Butter Flavor
2 tsp. Liquid Stevia Extract
1 2/3 cups Light Coconut Milk (canned)

1 1/2 tsp. Liquid Stevia Extract
1 1/2 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup Brewed Coffee (cooled to room temperature)
1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 1/4 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
6 large Egg Whites
7 large Eggs
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Double-Acting Baking Powder
1/2 cup Granulated Erythritol
1 cup Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder
2 cups Coconut Flour

Method

01

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, spray two 9 inch cake pans with cooking spray and line with parchment paper circles.
02

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, applesauce, almond milk, coffee, vanilla extract, and stevia extract.
04

Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk vigorously until there are no clumps.
05

Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for ~45 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for ~20 minutes, then flip them over onto wire cooling racks and let cool completely.
06

In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, add the coconut milk, stevia extract, butter flavor, and vanilla paste. Whisk on low for a few seconds, then turn the mixer off.
07

Add the protein powder and return mixer to low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix one last time. Frost the cake.
08

In a microwave-safe bowl, add 4oz of the chocolate. Microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is melted.
09

Whisk in the coconut milk. Pour over the cake and spread it out on top.
