Ingredients List

For the Cake:

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia
• Natural red food coloring

For the Sugar-Free Buttercream Frosting:

• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Monk Fruit Allulose confectioners

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Begin by whisking the ground flaxseed, coconut flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. This will ensure that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, which is crucial for the cake’s texture.

2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, vanilla liquid stevia, and a few drops of natural red food coloring. Adjust the amount of food coloring until you reach your desired shade of red.

3. Mix It Up: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The batter should be smooth and free of lumps.

4. Prepare the Ramekins: Lightly grease two 7-ounce quiche ramekins. Divide the batter evenly between them, spreading it to ensure even cooking.

5. Cooking Options:

   • Microwave Method: Cook each ramekin individually in the microwave for 1 minute. Check the center with a toothpick—if it doesn’t come out clean, continue cooking in 30-second intervals until done.
   • Oven Method: Alternatively, bake the ramekins in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 15 minutes.

6. Cool and Frost: Allow the cakes to cool before frosting. To prepare the frosting, combine the softened butter, heavy cream, and Monk Fruit Allulose confectioners in a bowl, beating until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cakes as desired.
