Ingredients

Mini Chocolate Cake:

1/4 cup almond flour
2 tbsp Swerve Sweetener
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 large egg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

German Chocolate Frosting:

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
1 tbsp Bocha Sweet (or an additional tbsp powdered Swerve)
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Chocolate Cake:

Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease three 4-inch ramekins or mini cake pans well. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk in the butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Divide between the prepared baking dishes and bake 10 to 15 minute or until set and firm to the touch.
Let cool in pans, then run a sharp knife around the inside of the ramekins and flip out. If your cake layers have humps, slice the tops off to make them flat and even.

German Chocolate Frosting:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream, egg yolk, sweetener, and butter. Cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully the whole time.
Remove from heat and stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Let cool a few minutes as it will continue to thicken up (if it's too thin, whisk in a teaspoon of coconut flour to help thicken it).

To Assemble

Place one layer of cake on a plate and top with about 1/3 of the frosting. Repeat with the remaining layers and frosting.
