A slice of low carb cake and a cup of tea or coffee can be such a treat, and this recipe with blueberries and dark chocolate chips may just tempt you!
Ingredients
(4g carbs per slice)
In a bowl add the ground almonds, eggs, olive oil, vanilla and baking powder. Whisk together. Because there is no flour, this recipe has less raising agents than a regular cake, so whisk for a couple of minutes to get lots of air into the mixture. This will give your cake a nice fluffy texture.
Next add in the blueberries and chocolate chips, but keep a small amount of each aside to decorate the top of your cake. Fold the blueberries and chocolate in with a wooden spoon, being careful not to knock out too much of the air that you’ve worked in.
Pour the low carb/keto cake batter into your loaf pan, and sprinkle the top with the blueberries and dark chocolate chips that you set aside.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. The cake will rise a little and turn a shiny golden brown on top. You can use a skewer to prick the middle of the cake and check that it is baked: if the skewer comes out clean then it’s done.
120g ground almonds
4 medium eggs
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

50g dark chocolate chips (at least 70% cocoa solids)

Jan, Sitting at my computer, typing replies to blogs, I got to your post here, with Blueberry, Dark Chocolate, Low Carb Cake. It looked so good! Well, you know how I feel about blueberries because you saw my only August post, titled Blueberry Time. 😊 https://john-s-island.blogspot.com/2024/08/blueberry-time.html So, I stopped, went into the kitchen, found a bowl of blueberries in the fridge, took it out, and added some cream, and it was delicious. I’m back now to finish this comment for you. 😊Thank you for enhancing my day! Best wishes to you from Seattle! John
