How to Make It
Step 1
Let the butter sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Add six tablespoons of the butter and erythritol to a bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat well until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Add the eggs, one at a time. Continue to beat at medium speed. Then, add the almond milk, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat until completely combined.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Beat well until fully incorporated. Make sure to break up any lumps.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Step 5
When done, remove the cake from the oven and set it aside to cool. Meanwhile, add the remaining six tablespoons of the butter to a bowl. Beat well for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Beat until completely combined. This will take about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Once the cake has completely cooled, crumble it into a large bowl. Add the frosting and stir until fully combined. Taste and optionally add some more sweetener.
Step 8
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and form the cake into approximately 1 ½ inch balls. Insert a cake pop stick into each ball. Refrigerate again for 15 minutes.
Step 9
Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips until completely melted. Optionally, you can melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Dip the cake balls into the melted chocolate. Place each on a large piece of parchment paper or a cooling rack and set aside until set. Garnish the cake pops according to your taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
