Sugar-free chocolate mud cake

Experience a decadent treat without the guilt with this sugar-free chocolate mud cake recipe. Perfect for those who are health-conscious or watching their sugar intake, this cake is as rich and moist as its traditional counterpart. Let's dive into this simple yet delightful baking adventure.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup water
250g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/2 cup sugar
120g
1 cup light sour cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Preparation:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the water and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose flour, and cocoa powder. Add the sugar substitute and mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to prevent lumps. Stir until well combined.
5. Add Eggs and Sour Cream:
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the cake mixture and mix well. Then, fold in the light sour cream until the batter is smooth and creamy.
6. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve:
Once the cake is completely cool, it can be frosted with a sugar-free frosting or simply dusted with a bit of cocoa powder. Slice and serve.

Tips:

- Ensure the eggs and butter are at room temperature before mixing to help the batter combine more smoothly.

- Sift the flours and cocoa powder to avoid lumps and to ensure an even and airy texture.

- Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

- Using a light sour cream keeps the cake moist without compromising on flavor. Full-fat equivalents can also be used if preferred.

- To make the cake truly sugar-free, substitute the half cup of sugar with a sweetener of your choice, such as Stevia or erythritol, in the appropriate conversion ratio.

- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature and don't open it while baking to avoid collapsing the cake.

- After removing the cake from the oven, allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain the cake’s structure.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you have created a delicious sugar-free chocolate mud cake that you can enjoy guilt-free. Whether it's a special occasion or just a regular day, this cake is sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings while keeping your diet in check. Enjoy!
