A totally delicious Paleo/Keto Flourless Chocolate Cake that is simple to make… YES PLEASE!
To be honest I don’t even know why I made this cake or what inspired me I just ended up making it then thinking of other things I could do with it.
Sometimes with all the recipes I make I am inspired by something I see or hear, or a vision in my head of something I want to photograph so then I create the recipe to match. This recipe must just have been a need for a little cake.
So anyway it is pretty damn awesome! The cake is super moist with a bit of a crisp outer edge. Far from dry this cake needs little else than a sprinkle of cocoa and a dollop of thick cream.
I had one of those visions after making the cake of topping it with ganache and then a pavlova on top with cream and big curls of dark chocolate but time as always gets the better of me. I swear I need to have a team of chefs in my kitchen to help get all my crazy ideas onto a plate. It seems I am always just running out of time.
How to make Keto Chocolate Cake
Can I just say this is far from rocket science. All you need is a bowl and spoon or whisk.
- Melt that chocolate – for even lower carb use a sugar free dark chocolate
- Whisk in sweetener, eggs and salt
- Fold through remaining ingredients
- Pop into a prepared springform
- Bake
- Cool then serve! Best part
What to serve with Keto Chocolate Cake?
You can bust out a great keto ice cream, cream, double cream, creme patisserie or creme anglaise. All these would be delicious maybe even a berry or two.

This was so good! We ate it still warm as it is getting very cold here at the moment and I just wanted something chocolatey and kind of gooey. This hit the spot exactly with plenty left for the freezer for the next time the craving hits!

Super yummy and very chocolatey! -
I put this in at 140degres in a fan forced oven. The top burnt at 10min without the inside being cooked – what did I do wrong?
-
That sounds like your oven is way off Sarah. No cake will burn at 140C in 10 minutes. Most cakes are cooked at 170-180 for over 30 minutes. I would test the oven temp

Karen-

Hi Megan….this cake looks amazing and I can’t wait to make it! I have one question with regard to the dark chocolate. Did you use unsweetened baking chocolate or did you use a regular dark chocolate bar (like 85% cocoa)?
-
I used a 90% chocolate Suzette.
