Swooning over this Easy Keto Chocolate Cake!  

So chocolatey, so rich and YES, it’s even KETO!  Of course, I couldn’t help topping this delicious cake with a generous slathering of Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting to make it even more tempting for all the chocoholics out there!  (like myself!)  

I’ve found it’s harder to find desserts that actually taste good when you make them healthier, especially when you are making desserts sugar-free and low-carb.    I love using Lakanto and luckily for me, they noticed my instagram and sent me a whole bunch of their awesome products!  Happiness!  

If you’re not familiar with Lakanto, it is an all natural monk fruit sweetener that is both a superfood and a sugar substitute.  It has the perfect mix of monk fruit extract and erythritol with no fiber, no maltodextrin, and no artificial flavoring or sweeteners. 

The extract comes from Monk fruit, which is is a small, green gourd resembling a melon and it’s grown in Southeast Asia. The Buddhist monks were the first to use it in the 13th century, hence the name “Monk Fruit”.  LOL…makes sense.

Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener measures as a healthy cup-for-cup (1:1) alternative to ordinary baking and cooking ingredients, which I dearly love.

This Easy Keto Chocolate Cake recipe uses the Lakanto Classic White and the Lakanto Classic Powder.  I used the Lakanto Golden Lakanto in this Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake and these Cinnamon Apple Muffins. 

Pictured: LAKANTO CLASSIC, GOLDEN & POWDERED: Golden Lakanto is a brown sugar substitute, Classic White is a white sugar substitute, and Classic Powder is a powdered sugar substitute.

Lakanto even has chocolate chips, chocolate bars, maple syrup, all kinds of baking mixes and a lot more!  So if you want to check out the Lakanto page to discover and try some of these products.

Just fill in the discount code with thebakingchocolatess15, when you check out.  

I know for realz, it’s hard to find a healthy sugar sweetener without sacrificing the taste of sugar.  Some can taste bitter or have a nasty after-taste and some just aren’t healthy.  It’s the closest to tasting like sugar that I’ve tried when experimenting with recipes and if you haven’t noticed…

I DO like my sugar! 🙂

Whether you’re new to this type of lifestyle or been doing it for awhile and haven’t tried Lakanto, why not see?  Works with ketogenic, diabetic, candida, paleo, vegan, low-carb, low-sugar, non-GMO, and all-natural diets, btw! 

 

Use my Lakanto Discount Code: thebakingchocolatess15 to get 15% off when you check out, because wanna share the love and who doesn’t love a discount. I’d love to hear your feedback if you try it!     

So, let’s just eat cake already…especially this guilt-free delicious tasting Easy Keto Chocolate Cake!

Ingredients
 
 

Easy Keto Chocolate Cake

  • 4 eggs large
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • ½ cup Lakanto Classic Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting For thinner layer, halve recipe
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened - use 6 oz if you don't want a less cream cheese flavor
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder use more or less depending on how chocolatey you want it
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 /2 cup Lakanto Classic Powdered Sugar use more if needed or if you want it sweeter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Easy Keto Chocolate Cake

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease an 8x8 baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray, .
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually whisk in the almond flour and cocoa powder and finish up by adding in the salt and baking soda and mix. (This is a thick batter.)
  • Pour cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Let cake cool in the pan completely before frosting.

Keto Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Using mixer, whip all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Modify as needed.
  • Frost and serve.

Notes

To soften cream cheese, put in microwave for 20 seconds.  It works great!

    Can you make a non chocolate version of this cream cheese frosting?

      I would just leave the chocolate out all together if you don’t want chocolate flavor. Add some extra vanilla flavoring to kick it up a notch. 🙂 Hope you enjoy!

    Can I make cupcakes with this recipe? Temp? Baking time?

      I don’t see why not? Same temperature as in recipe for 15 to 20 minutes. Test the doneness of cupcakes by inserting a wooden toothpick into the center. Enjoy Jen!

    Just wondering could I use the Lakanto golden sugar instead of classic. I have also the powdered.

    You’re a baking goddess!! This cake is amazing!! It tastes like traditional chocolate cake. I’ve tried other low carb/keto cake recipes, they don’t even compare. Thank you for your amazing recipe.
