Keto Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream
This Keto Chocolate Cake is rich in flavor and has a soft and fluffy texture from the swiss meringue cream cheese buttercream. I hop you'll enjoy making it and eating it.
Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
2 Cups Almond Flour, Sifted (224 grams)
1/3 Cup Coconut Flour (42 grams)
1 tsp Baking Powder (5 grams)
1 tsp Baking Soda (5 grams)
1/8 tsp Salt (1 gram)
2/3 Cup Cocoa Powder (70 grams)
3/4 Cups Granular Swerve (160 grams)
4 Large Eggs (90-100 grams)
½ Cup +3 Tbsp. Unsweetened Almond Milk (160 grams)
½ Tbsp. White Vinegar (8 grams)
2/3 Cup Coconut Oil, Melted (130 grams)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (5 grams)
½ Cup Keto Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (100 grams)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C) and line 3X6’’ pans with coconut oil and baking powder on the sides and parchment paper on the bottom.
Prepare the “buttermilk” by adding ½ Tbsp. Vinegar to ½ Cup+3 Tbsp. Unsweetened Almond milk. Mix and set aside. In a medium size bowl, mix 2 Cups Almond Flour, 1/3 Cup Coconut Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1/8 tsp Salt. Sift 2/3 cups Cocoa Powder over and mix everything well together. Pour the almond milk “buttermilk” into another medium bowl. Add 4 large egg whites, ¾ Cup Granulated Swerve, 2/3 Cups Melted Coconut Oil and 1 tsp Vanilla. Mix everything though and add to the dry ingredients. Mix everything until well combined and then incorporate ½ Cup Chocolate chips with a spatula.
Divide between the pans and bake at 350 (177 ) for 30 minutes. Leave the cakes in the pans to cool down for 5 minutes and then immediately wrap with plastic wrap to prevent the cakes from drying out.
Swiss Meringue Cream Cheese Chocolate Buttercream
Ingredients:
3 Large egg whites (90-100 grams)
1 Cup Granular Swerve (200 grams)
1 Cup Unsalted Butter (227 grams)
1 2/3 Cups Cream Cheese (400 grams)
½ Cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (100 grams)
6 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder (44 grams)
6-8 Tbsp. Boiling Water (30 -40 grams)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (5 grams)
Preparation:
Whisk the 3 egg whites and 1 Cup Swerve over Bain Marie, until the egg whites reach 160 F (71C), which should take about 15 minutes. As soon as the egg whites reach the correct temperature, transfer the mixture into the mixer bow and whisk on high, until the bowl becomes cool to the touch, around 10 minutes. Now slowly add 1 Cup of unsalted Butter at room temperature and continue whisking for another 5 -10 minutes. Now add ½ Cup of melted chocolate chips, followed by 6 Tbsp. Cocoa powder mixed with 6-8 tbsp. boiling water. Add 1 tsp vanilla, mix, and then transfer the buttercream into another bowl. Clean the mixer bowl and now add 1 2/3 Cups room temperature cream cheese and whisk on high for 5 minutes, until the cream cheese becomes light and fluffy. Now slowly incorporate the chocolate buttercream into the whipped cream cheese, 1 spoonful at a time. Mix everything well.

For this particular cake, I would replace the water & cocoa mixture in buttercream with freshly brewed coffee to get that mocha flavor. It would be kind of difficult to change it up to tiramisu, but I really like that suggestion and I'll look into making that video 😀

Hi. So far I’ve only watched some of the video so I can save it in my library. I saw that you added vinegar to almond milk. Is that to make it like buttermilk? If so, can some buttermilk powder be used instead? Thanks! And the cake looks luscious!
This cake looks suspiciously diabetic friendly!
I wonder if you could use egg white powder and water instead of the egg whites. They will whip just like regular egg whites.
Can I sub coconut flour for almond flour, also what's a good sugar sub to be low sugar, i want it to be keto but i only have maple sugar and brown sugar, any ideas🧐🤷😉

Hi Red :-) You could try and use 1 1/3 cups of coconut flour in total and omit the almond flour. As for the sugars, both maple or brown sugar would not make this cake keto anymore.
I’m wondering if I could make this without swerve? Sugar alcohols and I don’t get along :)

You could make it up to 2-3 days ahead if you need to and just keep it in the fridge. Take it out a few hours before serving so that the frosting softens and the slices are easier to cut. Enjoy 😊

Hello :-) Of course, no problem! The Almond and Coconut Flours are: Bob's Red Mill. Almond Milk is: Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Original. Chocolate Chips are: Krisda, Semi Sweet. Baking Powder is: Magic Baking Powder by Kraft. Cream Cheese is: Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Original. Cocoa Powder is: Ruddy Red. I buy it here at Bulk Barn, because it has 22-24% fat content and makes delicious,very flavorful cakes. But, if not, I did have same success baking this cake with Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocoa. I hope this helps and Happy early Birthday ❤

May I ask what is a granulated swerve?
@ketoyum3742
2 жыл бұрын
Good, catch! It's not Granulated it's Granular. I will fix that. In case you haven't used it before, it's Erythritol with fiber added to it and it doesn't have the same cooling effect that some sweeteners have. It's best used for baking, because it replaces sugar 1:1 ratio. And if you need icing Swerve for buttercreams, you can just grind some granular in a coffee grinder. I hope I answered your question correctly .
Is the buttercream supposed to come out grainy? Mine did… nice flavor but I didn’t like the grainy feeling…
@ketoyum3742
3 жыл бұрын
Oh that's unfortunate :-( I'm sorry that happened. Buttercreams can turn out grainy when icing sugar is not fully melted in, which can be resolved by adding some hot water or even 1-2 Tbsp. of whipping cream. But, since this recipe uses Swiss meringue buttercream first, no icing sugar and even hot water with cocoa to prevent that from happening, I am not sure what could've gone wrong without being there to see it.

@ketoyum3742

Hi Esther, Unfortunately, coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid than almond, so it would offset the amount of liquids and eggs in the recipe. You can try and play around with the recipe to accommodate the substitute, by adding more eggs (up to 6-7 eggs for this amount of flour) and liquids. If not the cake will end up being more crumbly and have a dry texture. I hope you give it a try either way :-)

Normally, the almond flour coconut flour ratio is 1:4, so each cup of almond flour equals one quarter cup of coconut flour without having to change the other ingredients.

You technically could, but buttermilk is not considered keto :-( Our body processes lactose the same way as sugar, unfortunately. If you don't have any other plant based milks, I would just replace it with water. But, still add the vinegar. I hope this helps :-)

Vinegar is the acid needed to react with baking soda. The chemical reaction between the two releases carbon dioxide, making the cake rise more and produce fluffier texture :-)

Thank you for your input, Sandy. It does show up as Keto Friendly in the Carb Manager app, so I figure, for a celebratory cake, it's still acceptable. It is also based on 8 large slices, so you could either cut them thinner or half the entire recipe. It still tastes delicious and is a once in a while treat :-)
