I am currently obsessed with this Healthy Sugar Free Low Calorie Almond Milk Shamrock Shake and No Bake Keto Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars, and OF COURSE this healthy chocolate cake! I whipped this up and enjoyed it for my birthday, which of course, made my birthday so very sweet! For my birthday cake I combined two of my favorite things – chocolate and cream cheese. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe!

Frequently Asked Questions About KEYWORD

What sweeteners are best?

I prefer monk fruit or swerve. Stevia works well too!

Can I use regular sugar?

You bet! Just keep in mine that this cake will no longer be keto/low carb or (obviously) sugar free.

What is a keto chocolate cake made of?

This moist and delicious chocolate cake is made with almond flour, sweetener, and cocoa powder!

I want a two layer cake, can half of my batter sit ready while the other half bakes?

If you want a double (or triple) layer cake but only have one 7 inch pan, your batter should be just fine sitting and waiting for the other cake to bake.
