In another bowl beat the egg, then mix in the melted butter, and vanilla extract
Add the keto chow, sweetener, cocoa powder and baking powder
Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter
Place about two-thirds of the batter in your prepared ramekin then put the peanut butter mixture in the center of the batter and press it down lightly. Push the square of chocolate chips into the center of the peanut butter.
Pour the rest of the batter over the peanut butter and smooth over so that the top is even and the peanut butter is completely covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. The cake should be firm and slightly risen around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Allow the cake to cool for about five minutes. Gently pull it away from the edges of the ramekin. Top the ramekin with a small plate and turn it over gently shaking it if necessary, to release the cake.
Garnish with a sprinkle of confectioner’s sweetener and whipped cream if desired.
