In my opinion, dessert must involve chocolate and it must be easy to make. This Keto Chocolate Cake fits the bill! It only uses 1 bowl, it’s perfectly chocolatey, and my family loves it!

HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe couldn’t be any easier. You literally dump everything into a bowl, mix and bake.
The ingredients in this keto chocolate cake are coconut flour, cocoa powder, heavy cream, eggs, sweetener, baking powder, butter, and salt.
I mixed all of the ingredients well with an electric mixer.

I then poured the batter into a well greased 8×8 pan.
I baked it at 350F for 25 minutes.
The cake was perfectly moist! I let it completely cool in the pan before I iced it.
The icing consisted of whipping cream that I whipped to stiff peaks, then I added sifted cocoa powder, sweetener, and a little vanilla.
This is the perfect chocolate cake for anytime that craving hits.

I followed this exactly. After 25 minutes everything but the outer inch or so was still liquid. Put it back in for another 10 minutes. Still, the entire middle jiggles like jello & is still liquid judging by a toothpick test. Going for another 10 minutes. What happened?
I am not sure, Pat. Did you substitute any of the ingredients?
Can I use a different sweetener then swerve? I have erythritol, monk fruit or stevia?
Yes, erythritol or monk fruit would be comparable to the Swerve.
Made the cake tonight! It was so moist and good! I also made the frosting, everything came out perfect! Thank you for the recipe!
So happy to hear that!
Hi Jennifer! I see you noted that the amount will differ when using almond flour. How much should I use? Thank you!
I’m guessing it would be at least 3 cups. You want the batter to have the same consistency, so I would start with 2 cups and then keep adding until it is the consistency like the video. Coconut flour is very absorbent. That’s why it uses so little.
May I ask the baking time for 6″ if I only use half of the ingredients?
Thanks!
I would check it after 10 minutes
Just made this. Is it 5 net carbs per slice? I also used cocoa powder with 0 carbs does that lessen the net carbs?
Yes, 5 net carbs. I’m not sure which brand of cocoa powder you are using, but all of the ones I have seen are 16 carbs and 11g fiber for 1/3 cup.
Can you use truvia instead of swerve? Never head of swerve nor have i seen it in any Canadian stores…
You can but you might need to add less. It looks like Trivia is not a 1 for 1 substitute for sugar.
Superstore and Save On in BC carry it.
Just made this cake for my moms birthday and it turned out amazing!!! Im not on a keto diet (my mom is) but i enjoyed this more than a regular chocolate cake!! Awesome recipe
Has anyone tried making these as cupcakes? If so how many does it make(I’m guessing 9)? And what temperature and bake time?
I made these as cupcakes, it made 18.
Awesome!
Just wanted to let you know that I made this for my husband’s birthday. We loved it. I did have to bake it for almost 45 minutes though as it wasn’t anywhere near done after 25. Loved the fact the cake was all made in one bowl. Awesome!
I noticed in the video that vanilla was added to the batter but in the written recipe, the vanilla is not included in the batter. How is I think actually made?
Thank you for bringing that to my attention! That was an error on my part and I will get it added to the recipe. It’s 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Hi, my husband’s birthday is tomorrow and I would love to make this for him since hes on the keto kick. I only have swerve confectioner’s, and splinda sweetener. Would either one of these work for the sweetener? Thanks.
Swerve confectioners should work fine
Thanks for sharing! What is special about swerve sweetener?
I like the taste better than other zero calorie sweeteners
Do you know the measurements in grams and ml?
No, sorry
You have 11g carbs listed and 6g fiber. My question is: Is the carb listing 11g net carbs or will the net carbs be 5g? Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe! 😀
The net carbs with be 5g
Did you have a dessert that has pudding and whipped topping ? It would be a refrigerated dessert.
I don’t! I will have to make that soon
can I use Almond flour?
You can but you will need to use more to get the right texture.
How many serving?
Thank you!
nine servings
One bowl cake that’s low carb? Sign me up! Perfect size and chocolate is my absolute favorite. Love the frosting too!
It’s so easy!
Gorgeous photography. I am amazed how easy it was to make this cake, and it was delicious!
Thank you Brandi!
