Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 325 F. Combine all dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl (almond flour, Swerve, dark cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, baking powder, and kosher salt).
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and then combine it with vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix some to combine using a spatula. It will not be all combined.
  4. Heat the cashew milk in a microwave-safe container until very hot. Add to the chocolate mixture and switch to a whisk to remove all the lumps.
  5. Spray a 9” round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and then add the batter. Bake for 40 minutes or until cake is cooked through to the center. Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes. Then flip it out onto a plate, bottom side up. In the meantime, heat the cream in a microwave-safe container in the microwave until boiling (about 45-60 seconds). Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before attempting to stir it. Once 5 minutes have elapsed, stir the cream and chocolate together until well combined.
  6. Pour ganache all over the top of the cake. Use an offset spatula to spread it to the edges and allow it to drip down.
  7. Combine 2 T peanut butter powder and 1 ½ T of water well.
  8. Then pour that on top of the chocolate ganache into a swirl pattern.
  9. Then using a skewer, swirl the peanut butter and chocolate together.
