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 until well combined.
  • Gradually whisk in the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda and mix together well so everything is combined without over-mixing. (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!
