I’m in love with this keto chocolate fudge cake. I don’t feel like I’m dieting at all, especially when I can have chocolate and cake without all the guilt. The only guilt is when I go back for seconds and with this cake that is hard not to do.

This keto chocolate fudge cake is keto, low carb, sugar free and gluten free. The cake has both almond flour and coconut flour, but without a coconut taste.

I believe for a keto cake it is actually moist and not too dry. Sometimes, with almond flour a cake or biscuit can be gritty like a cornbread texture, but this mixture of almond flour and coconut flour is just perfect.

But, before we talk about this recipe, let’s learn more about the keto diet, because it is much more than eating a lot of BACON, LOL!

What is the Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet focuses on high fat, low carb foods like eggs, meats, dairy, and low carb vegetables. Also, it consists of food that are sugar free and gluten free. A lot of individuals believe it is just a lot of protein, like a lot of bacon, but it is more than just eating a lot of bacon. It is limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils.

The sweetener in this keto chocolate fudge cake that I chose was Pyure. Pyure is a stevia blend and I actually believe that its’ taste is close to sugar. Pyure comes in 2 forms, granular and confectioners. For this recipe, the granuler is what I have chosen.

Frosting Ingredients:

sugar free chocolate chips
butter
vanilla

The frosting on this cake is quick and easy. The recipe calls for sugar free chocolate chips. I have found a couple different brands of sugar free chocolate chips. Some have aspartame and one is made with stevia. To make the frosting you will melt the chocolate chips and butter in a glass bowl. After the chocolate chips and butter are melted then add the vanilla and Pyure. Then place the bowl into the refrigerator and the mixture will firm up. This usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. But, once the mixture is firm, take a hand mixer and beat until fluffy. The frosting is then ready to spread on top of a cooled cake.

Frosting Substitutions:

instead of frosting, add pecans, unsweetened coconut and sugar free chocolate chips
make a glaze from a confectioners sugar and water. I use Swerve Confectioners sugar.
add unsweetened coconut and sliced almonds
mix walnuts in with the frosting
add sugar free white chocolate chips to the top of the cake
add cherry extract to the frosting

This recipe can also be baked in cupcake tins. Which allows a little more portion control. Sometimes, I actually use mini cupcake tins too. I will double the recipe and after I have frosted the cupcakes then I will place them in the freezer and pull one out at a time. This helps, especially if only one person in the family is on the keto/low carb diet.
