This is the ultimate chocolate cake with chocolate ganache - so rich, moist and decadent! And super easy to make without any tools required. Such a simple frosting yet it can wow your guests for any special celebrations.
I intentionally made the cake slightly sweeter and left the chocolate ganache without any sweetener as I love the nice bitter taste. But do feel free to add powdered sweetener, liquid stevia or dark chocolate sweetened with stevia for the ganache. I also made the ganache thicker as it's easier to frost and stays firm at room temperature for a long time. However, the downside is that it can get quite hardened when refrigerated but once reheated in the microwave, it becomes soft and fluffy. But you could certainly add more whipping or heavy cream to make the ganache softer and if you prefer a glossy look, just add some butter.

[ Total Servings = 12 ]
NUTRITION INFO PER SERVING
Total Carb = 12.0 g
Dietary Fiber = 5.4 g
Net Carb = 6.6 g
Calories = 504
Total Fat = 50.3 g
Protein = 8.1 g
DRY INGREDIENTS
Almond flour = 180 g / 1 1/4 cups
Coconut flour = 45 g / 5 3/4 tbsp
Unsweetened cocoa powder = 38 g / 5 tbsp
Baking powder = 8 g / 2 tsp
Baking soda = 4 g / 1 tsp
Monkfruit = 250 g / 1 1/4 cups (This is mild to moderately sweet so you can increase the amount according to your preference.
WET INGREDIENTS
Whipping Cream = 290 ml / 1.2 cups (You can also use coconut cream, yogurt or sour cream)
Whole eggs = 6 large (345 g)
Coconut oil = 120 ml / 1/2 cup (You can also use any keto friendly oil including melted butter)
Vanilla extract = 1 tbsp
Espresso powder = 5 g / 1 tbsp (Optional)
CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Unsweetened dark chocolate (chopped) = 375 g / 2 1/4 cups (I used Baker`s Unsweetened Dark Chocolate)
Whipping cream = 240 ml / 1 cup
Note:
1. For a softer texture, you can add another 1/2 to 1 cup of whipping or heavy cream.
2. You can add some powdered sweetener, liquid stevia or use dark chocolate sweetened with stevia)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven at 325F or 160C.
2. In a bowl, add all the wet ingredients, whisk until well combined then set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, sieve the almond, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda. Then add the sweetener and salt. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter is thick and smooth.
5. Use 3x8 inch (20 cm) round pans, greased and lined with parchment paper at the bottom.
6. Divide the batter equally. Spread evenly and tap a few times to remove air bubbles.
7. Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
8. Cool for 5 minutes then remove the pan and parchment paper. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack.
9. Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache. Heat the whipping cream in a microwave for 60 seconds then pour onto the chopped chocolate. Mix until the chocolate is melted. This ganache is quite thick but if you prefer a softer texture, just add more whipping or heavy cream (about 1/2 to 1 cup).
10. Once the cakes are cooled, frost each layer evenly including the top and sides.
11. Use a cake scraper to smoothen the sides then make a design for the sides with a cake scraper with teeth edge. It's super easy and makes the cake look nicer. Then decorate the top with some fresh strawberries and raspberries (optional).
12. This cake can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
13. Just reheat in the microwave for 40 to 60 seconds and the cake will become soft and fluffy.

I made this cake In my crockpot I didn't change a single thing about this recipe and I fed it to my guests and they said it was sooooo good.. when I told them it was a keto cake they were shocked and said it tasted just like a normal cake they even asked me for the recipe and I showed them your video. I promise you there was nothing left in my crock pot they ate it all!!

Greetings from Singapore🌹🌹🌹
Edith, a happy Subcriber.
Wow!!!
Hello. I just made this. It's muy first time doing a low carb cake, so I'm very excited. I have a large pan (30 cm) so I put the entire batter. I didn't realize the cake is too tender, and that's why you baked the layers separatedly. Anyway, with care and patience I finally cut it in two, so it's possible!! Haha. Thank you for this amazing recipe. Hugs from Argentina 🎂😀
Glad it turned out well at the end 👏. Thanks for your feedback ❤️
WOW! It looks incredible! Can't wait to try it.
Thank you ❤️
Woooow look perfect 😍

You make keto easy
I love you❤❤❤❤
Wow! Absolutely love this recipe 😊. My first try at chocolate cake and it turned out amazing! Thank you soooo much ❤️🫂❤️
That's awesome! Thanks so much for your feedback 🙏
Instead of using the espresso powder, you can use a tablespoon or two of Javi coffee. It's a concentrated liquid coffee.
That sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙏
O wow!!!!!!!
I made this today and it is the best cake iv ever had., really! great job thank you so much ... what a treat!
That's awesome and you made me so happy! Thanks so much for your feedback ❤️
What a tasty, delightful cake Elsie
I made it today & we all loved it.
I put a little less sweetener in the cake & added some in the ganache & it was fantastic.
Thank u Elsie💖
So glad to hear that! Thanks so much for your feedback my friend ❤️
Can I substitute eggs with flaxseed? Thks
Yummm
Nice recipes, thanks, though to that amount or dark chocolate is needed to double the amount of heavy cream.
Yes at the full written recipe at the description box, I have given the option to increase the heavy cream if anyone prefers a softer and runnier ganache. I personally prefer a thicker ganache as it's easier to spread and doesn’t melt easily after frosting. Thanks for sharing 😊
How much powered keto sweetener should I add to the chocolate ganache? I would like to sweeten mine to be similar sweetness to regular chocolate icing.
Frankly, I am not sure as I have not gone to that level of sweetness. But I estimate around 180 to 250 g of powdered sweetener. I suggest you taste and adjust accordingly. It's fine to add fine powdered sweetener or liquid stevia until you get the desired sweetness.
@@lowcarbrecipeideas Okay thanks! 😀
OMG...this cake is so beautiful & no doubt it's delicious too 😍
Yes it is and probably one of the best tasting cake I ever made. Thanks Niki ❤️
@@lowcarbrecipeideas oh I don't doubt that😊😊
By the way my birthday is in October so maybe I will please myself with this cake...😜😜
@@Niki-81811 Yay !!! May I know when in October?
@@lowcarbrecipeideas sure. October/17
Hi 😋 looks sooo yummy😋 How about if can cook only for two layers only (quite pricy the ingrefients here in 🇵🇭 😊) can i ask for the measurement of it. Thank you in Advance on your reply. 😍
Yes you can. For 2 layers, just make 2/3 of the recipe.
Isn’t there any sweetener in the ganache? That would be bitter I believe I’ve tried and you need semi sweet chocolate at least!
It's mentioned in the description box that you could add sweetener for the ganache, if you prefer it, or you could use the dark chocolate that has been sweetened with stevia.
Can I omit the baking soda? Can you let me know what is the purpose of it? Thank you Elsie!
Yes you can omit it. Baking soda makes the cake softer. However it does have an unpleasant taste for some people but you can't taste it in this cake due to the strong chocolate flavor.
@@lowcarbrecipeideas Thank you Elsie. I will be trying out this recipe soon!
wow.. but I have only small oven , can I bake it one by one or in one baking pan ..
You can bake it in 1 or 2 pans and slice them into layers
Testy ifeel I'm eating a real wheat flour 🎂 🥮 thanks alot for this recipe 👌
That's great! Thanks so much for your feedback ❤️
Hello! Is it possible to switch coconut flour with almond flour only? Coconut flour isnt easily available in the area
Yes, please see all the details at the description box below video.
🤓👌🖖👍✌😎
Did you omit the sweetener in the ganache?
Yes. You can add it if you wish or increase the sweetener in the cake to balance out.
Can you imagine what that would taste like without any sweetener? Looks delicious but I would definitely add a little something.
@@gypsyrhodescovers My need for sweet is diminished since keto, but yeah, 100% cacao even with the fat of HWC is too hardcore for me!
Hello! Is it possible to switch to erythritol instead of monk fruit?
Yes, it's mentioned that you can use any keto friendly sweetener. Please see full written recipe and link to print recipe at the description box below video
Is it the same amount if I use Lakanto sweetener? Thank you😍
Yes same amount
@@lowcarbrecipeideas thank you so much🥰
@@lowcarbrecipeideas how about equal sweetener?
@sugar19ish Sorry, I am not sure about that as I have not used it before 🙏
Can I replace almond or coconut flour with sunflower seed flour?
Unfortunately not as this recipe has a combo of almond and coconut flour, so the ratio is quite different. Let me experiment with just ground sunflower seeds and if successful, will make a video and publish here. Meanwhile, I do have a sunflower seeds chocolate butter cake recipe in case you are interested;

Thank you! Allergic to nuts, so sunflower flour is best. Thanks so much
I feel very uncomfortable with the amout of eggs used ... idk why. I feel somehow guilty of using so much of an egg that is literally a whole food on its own... I literally have own chicken which live happy, get healthy food and (since there is no cock) they arent even fertiliced. That is what mostly stops me from going back to keto ... :(
I wouldn’t even know it was low carb it looks really good.
