While not everyone who goes Primal or keto chooses to bake traditional treats, some do. And for those who do, it’s nice to have a lower carb version to enjoy.

Servings: 8 Prep Time: 40 minutes (plus chill time) Cook Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: Cake: 3 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter 40 g chopped 90% Chocolate ¼ cup Almond Butter 2.5 tsp. Vanilla Extract 2 Tbsp.

Baking Soda Pinch of Salt Buttercream: ¾ cup Unsalted Butter, softened but not melted ¾ cup Powdered Swerve ½ tsp. Vanilla 2.5 Tbsp. Cacao Powder 1-2 Tbsp. Shredded Coconut (optional
