Ingredients You'll Need

- Almond flour - the main ingredient for this keto chocolate cake recipe. Make sure you use a fine almond flour. If it's too coarse use a food processor to blend it finer to avoid a gritty cake texture.
- Coconut flour - we use coconut flour and almond flour to replace standard flour in this recipe. They're much lower in carbs which helps keep the cake keto-friendly.
- Erythritol - our low carb alternative to other sugars, with fewer of the negative effects on blood sugar and insulin levels.
- Cacao powder - gives our chocolate cake a rich and decadent flavor. Also is a source of antioxidants, which play an important role in protecting cells from damage.
- Eggs - use whole, large and free-range eggs for the best flavor.
- Yogurt - helps to improve the texture of the cake.
- Butter - use grass-fed butter if possible, although all kinds will work. Butter gives the cake moisture and makes it more rich.
- Baking powder - make sure that it's fresh. It helps the cake rise and adds bubbles for a better texture.
- Vanilla extract - try to use a high quality brand if possible.
- Salt - addings salt helps to balance out all the flavors.
How To Make Keto Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the oven. To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175degrees Celsius) and grease a 8-inch round cake pan with butter.

- Prep the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl combine the Erythritol, almond flour, coconut flour, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Prep the eggs. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with an electric mixer until the double in size.

- Prep the wet ingredients. Add the yogurt and melted butter to the eggs and continue to whisk until well combined.
- Prep the batter. Combine the dry mixture and wet mixture together while whisking constantly with an electric mixer. Once combined, add the sparkling water into the batter and mix it in.

- Bake the cake. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. You may need to cover the top of the cake pan with foil or baking paper to keep it from burning.

- Allow to cool. Let the cake reach room temperature before removing it from the cake pan. Once cooled, you can optionally top with your favorite low carb toppings.

Hi Cindy, sorry I forgot to mention and I've updated the recipe!
The cake pan is an 8-inch round cake pan. Any other type of cake pan will work as well you'll just get a different result. If you use a wider pan you'll get a flat cake that is perfect for layered cakes. Hope that helps 🙂
