    Ingredients You'll Need

    Ingredients on a table needed to make the best keto chocolate cake
    • 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.

        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 🙂
