Total Time 2 hours hrs 30 minutes mins
- 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
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.
