Notes
This is a heavy chocolate cake recipe that will satisfy any “sweet tooth” and craving. It's packed full of goodness and calories and most people will be happy with a single slice.This ketogenic torte recipe is adapted for Peruvian tastes from the excellent Ketogenic Kitchen cookbook. The original recipe uses almost 200g of erythritol, which I find to be too sweet. I'm also not a fan of any kind of artificial sweetener so the more I can eliminate them the better. The addition of Lucuma powder adds some more sweetness to the mix. Feel free to add in your own favourite sweetener if you find the torte to be too bland. I find it perfect as it is. And of course, the blueberries add a punch of sweetness to the topping. I prefer to use brazil nut butter too (the original recipe uses peanut butter).
