Keto Chocolate Cake – Flourless LCHF

by 1 Comment

Keto Chocolate cake, I loveeeee the cake!

So after looking at various new recipes to try, I came across one that would satisfy a sweet tooth. I came across one on the Headbangers Kitchen Youtube channel. However I thought that I would write up a version as I struggled to keep up with the video. I must have watched it 20 times.Ingredients for Keto Chocolate Cake

The idea of 85% chocolate scared me a bit at first as I’m not a fan, however, this cake was really nice, and I can only assume the cream and butter take away the bitterness of the chocolate.

Let’s BAKE!
