Chocolate Sauce

In a small bowl, add cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, and salt, and whisk to combine.

Add the cocoa powder mixture to a small saucepan along with the water and whisk until it is smooth.

Let the chocolate sauce cool completely.

Chocolate Cake

Coat an air fryer-safe cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, add butter and sugar-free sweetener and mix it using an electric hand mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes until combined.

Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until incorporated. Ensure you scrape the sides of the mixing bowl to make sure all ingredients are mixed.

Next, add the sour cream to the batter and mix until combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, instant espresso powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda until combined.

Add the almond flour mixture to the chocolate cake batter and mix until combined.

Add the chocolate cake batter to the pan and place it into the air fryer's basket.
