1 cup of almond meal
½ cup of melted butter
½ cup cocoa powder
3 eggs

Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing
125 gram cream cheese
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
Add sweetener to taste
Method
Place all the cake ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend thoroughly with a beater.
Spoon batter out onto a greased or non-stick cake tin and smooth down.
Bake in a 160 deg oven for 30 minutes or until a skewer or fork comes out cleanly from the centre.
Allow to cool.
When the cake is cooled prepare the cream cheese icing by placing all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mixing with a beater for a couple of minutes until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cake and you’re done!
