Is Flourless Chocolate Cake Keto?

Yes, this cake with no flour is naturally gluten-free, but is it Keto-friendly? Most flourless chocolate cake recipes use regular chocolate that’s sweetened with sugar, which means higher carb content.

It’s almost too good to believe that using sugar-free chocolate that’s sweetened with stevia or erythritol makes this flourless chocolate cake keto.

Unsweetened Baker’s Chocolate or sugar-free stevia chocolate chops are an excellent choice for this cake recipe because there’s no after-taste.

If you aren’t on a keto diet, you can make the classic flourless cake. You won’t need any low carb flours for this keto cake, so say goodbye to almond flour or coconut flour.

In my honest opinion, this is the best flourless chocolate cake I’ve ever made. Top it with the sugar-free chocolate ganache and fresh berries for a heavenly result.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Flourless Chocolate cake

This recipe requires only five main ingredients such as:

• Sugar-free Dark Chocolate or Bittersweet Baker’s Chocolate
• Butter
• Powdered Erythritol
• Large Eggs
• Cocoa Powder

For the sake of flavor, I added a pinch of salt, espresso powder to bring that intense chocolate flavor, and vanilla extract. It’s best to make this keto cake recipe, as written in the recipe card below.

How To Make Flourless Chocolate Cake?

The instructions for this keto dessert are pretty simple.

1. Separate the eggs and place them into different bowls.
2. Beat yolks and sweetener until light and fluffy and egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3. Melt the chocolate and butter on a double boiler or in a microwave. Make sure your bowl doesn’t reach the boiling water. This method ensures that the chocolate is uniformly melted, and it’s not too hot.
4. Move fast and incorporate the yolk mixture into the melted chocolate. Stir in the cocoa powder.
5. Fold the fluffy egg-whites into the chocolate mixture. What your keto flourless chocolate cake batter is ready to transfer into a springform lined with parchment paper. Tap to remove any air bubbles.
6. Bake the flourless cake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like it. The cake rises as it bakes but collapses while cooling.

Can I Make Paleo Flourless Cake?

How To Serve Flourless Chocolate Cake

This sugar-free flourless chocolate cake is delicious to enjoy as it is or dusted with cocoa powder or powdered sweetener.

But, because I like things extra, I whip up a quick sugar-free ganache and load the cake with fresh raspberries on top. Here are all the ways you can serve it:

• top with sugar-freechocolate ganacheor vanilla frosting
• decorate with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and mint leaves
• serve with fresh homemade raspberry sauce
• add a dollop of regular keto vanilla ice-cream
• drizzle creamy peanut butter

This cake is best served at room temperature because it’s easier to slice, and the texture is fudgy and silky.

Ways to Store Flourless Chocolate Cake

How long can I keep the flourless chocolate cake? It lasts for up to a week refrigerated in an airtight container, but I bet there will be no leftovers.

Is it freezer-friendy? Yes, you can freeze the flourless cake without toppings. Wrap it in 2 layers of plastic wrap. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge. Then bring to room temperature before serving and add the toppings.

Is it essential to use powdered sweeteners?

Yes, it’s vital for the best texture. A granulated sweetener may bring a grainy chocolate cake, and a liquid sweetener makes the sugar-free cake too liquidy.

It’s super easy to make powdered sweetener at home if you have a coffee grinder or a food processor.

How many carbs are in a flourless cake?

The classic version is pretty high in sugar and carbs. My keto flourless cake has only 7g net carbs per slice with the chocolate ganache included. If you prefer not to add any toppings, enjoy a less than 5g net carbs satisfying sugar-free, low carb dessert.
