Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Silicone cake mold or baking tin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Empower Bar Cacao baking mix pouch see note
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol like Swerve brand. See note
  • 1/2 cup melted grass-fed butter or coconut oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • powdered monk fruit for dusting optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch silicone cake mold or baking tin with cooking spray. If using a tin or ceramic dish, line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Empower Bar Cacao baking mix and granulated erythritol. Stir to blend.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and use a whisk or spatula to mix until a batter is formed. Transfer the batter to the cake mold or baking tin and spread evenly to all sides.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. The middle may not look fully cooked through, so test with a toothpick as it should come out primarily clean. You don't want to over-bake as it will be too dry. The brownie cake will firm as it cools. Allow the cake to fully cool in the cake mold or baking tin, at least 2 hours. Transfer the cake to the refrigerator to firm some more. It is delicious when chilled!
  • For presentation before serving, dust with powdered monk fruit.
