Ingredients
Ingredients:2 cups pecans (in response to one of the comments, don't use salted pecans!)1/3 cup cocoa1 t baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt4 eggs1/2 cup (I stick) butter, melted1 teaspoon vanilla1/4 cup erythritol (optional)Artificial sweetener equivalent to 1 cup sugar I use zero-carb liquid sweeteners .1/2 cup water
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 F. Grease a 8 or 9" round pan or springform pan.
1) Process pecans in food processor - pulse until they are meal - but they won't get quite as small as corn meal.
2) Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse again. (Note on erythritol: You can do this recipe with all artificial sweetener, but I've begun experimenting with partial erythritol, with success. I haven't tested all different combinations yet, though - it may be that more erythritol is even better.)
3) Add the wet ingredients and process until well-blended.
4) Pour into pan and bake. The exact time will vary with the pan. Start checking at about 25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
5) Cut when cool. If desired, serve with homemade whipped cream and/or chocolate sauce.
