ingredients

• 2 cups pecans
• 1⁄3 cup cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄4 cup erythritol (optional)
• 1 cup artificial sweetener
• 1⁄2 cup water

directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F Grease a 8 or 9" round pan or springform pan.
2. Process pecans in food processor - pulse until they are meal - but they won't get quite as small as corn meal.
3. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and pulse again.
4. (Note on erythritol: You can do this recipe with all artificial sweetener, but I've begun experimenting with partial erythritol, with success. I haven't tested all different combinations yet, though - it may be that more erythritol is even better.).
5. Add the wet ingredients and process until well-blended.
6. Pour into pan and bake. The exact time will vary with the pan. Start checking at about 25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
