The Ingredients Used In This Keto Chocolate Cake Recipe:


Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make this tasty keto chocolate cake (the exact measurements are included in the recipe card below):

Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes.

Unsalted butter: You can also use salted butter but personally, I use creamy European butter. But any butter is delicious!

Sweetener: You can use your favorite sweetener. For the cake, I use this sweetener, and for the frosting, I use this powdered sugar substitute.

Vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract adds great flavor. Try to use it rather than the artificially flavored stuff.

Almond flour: I use blanched finely ground almond flour in this cake.

Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened natural cocoa powder. It will help activate the baking soda.

Baking powder: If you’d like to try using baking soda (though I haven’t tested it in this recipe), remember that 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

For the Chocolate Frosting: Unsalted butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, sweetener, cocoa powder, and vanilla.

Instructions

For cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9″ cake pans. Alternately you can line it with parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, cocoa powder, and baking powder until fully combined. Add in the butter and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer, mix until all ingredients are well combined. Crack open the eggs into the bowl and stir until completely combined, then stir in the almond milk. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and spread in an even layer.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it springs back when you touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from the pan or it may (will) fall apart.

For frosting:

  1. Beat room temperature cream cheese and butter until well combined and creamy.
  2. Add chocolate powder. Using your mixer or blender cream together evenly.
  3. Add the sweetener and mix it until smooth.
  4. Add in heavy whipping cream and mix well.
  5. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until the appearance becomes fluffy, this should take around 3 minutes.

Notes

Tip: You can add 1.5 teaspoons of Keto Instant coffee or Bulletproof Coffee for a coffee chocolate frosting.

Have you calculated all the macros? I am really new, and punching everything into Carb Manager, so if possible, can you post the listings for fat, Kcals as well as net carbs? I figure since this is a cake, there is probably little protein. I am still learning the Carb Manager application, so I apologize for the trouble.

I have never been successful with this type of dessert. Always burns on the edges and raw in the middle. Yuck.

I’m leaving a comment for the chocolate layer cake with dark chocolate cream cheese frosting. It’s name “World’s Beat Keto Chocolate Cake” or close to that. I followed the recipe to a “T” and am very disappointed. It looks nothing like the photo and is way too tender. Didn’t come out of the pans well and I can’t even cut it without tearing it up! Too sweet, also. I will define looking for a different recipe to use. Sad. I was very hopeful! Don’t know why the picture of mine is sideways.
