For the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
