Instructions
Cake:
Preheat oven to 325F and grease 3 8-inch round cake pans well. Line bottom of pans with circles of parchment and grease parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, whey protein powder, instant coffee, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sweetener until well combined. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and stevia extract.
Beat in half of the almond flour mixture, and then almond milk. Beat in remaining almond flour mixture until well combined.
Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans and bake 22 to 25 minutes, until set and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove and let cool in pans 10 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Peanut Butter Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and peanut butter until well combined.
Beat in sweetener, cream and vanilla extract until mixture is smooth.
Place one layer of cake on a serving platter and spread top with about 3/4 cup of frosting. Top with another layer and another 3/4 cup frosting. Add remaining layer and spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake.
Refrigerate cake until frosting is firm, about 2 hours.
Chocolate Ganache:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together, stirring until smooth.
Stir in powdered sweetener and vanilla extract.
Let cool 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened but still pourable.
Pour over top of cake, allowing it to drip down sides.
Let set 20 minutes before serving.
