Ingredients

5 ounces raw walnuts

3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup butter

2 tbsp walnut oil (or 2 more tbsp butter)

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate

4 large eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 to 4 tbsp leftover coffee or water (warm, but not hot)

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

2 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate (chopped)

1/3 cup walnut pieces

Directions

Torte

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a 9-inch round baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease the paper.

In a food processor, process the walnuts until finely ground. Add the sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and pulse a few times to combine.

In a large saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the eggs, one at a time, then whisk in the vanilla extract. Add liquid one tablespoon at a time and whisk until the mixture smooths out.

Stir in the walnut mixture until well combined. Spread the batter in prepared baking pan and bake 20 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly wet.

Remove and let cool 20 in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Remove the parchment paper.

Ganache

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to just a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit to melt 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Cool another few minutes to thicken, then pour the glaze over the cake, smoothing over the sides of the torte.

Sprinkle the top with walnut pieces and chill until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
