Wow, talk about a chocolate lover’s dream! My Keto Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting is proof that any recipe can be turned keto-friendly. It’s chocolate on chocolate with more chocolate! The rich, sweet chocolate cake topped is topped with a creamy chocolate frosting. It’s almost impossible to have just one bite!

Believe it or not, you can have this homemade cake and frosting made and ready to serve in less than an hour. It’s sure to become a regular dessert on your family’s menu!

The secret ingredient in this recipe is mayonnaise. The mayo makes the cake ridiculously moist. I promise your cake won’t taste like mayo, though!

You’ll start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 11×7 inch pan.

Sift together flour, swerve, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add mayonnaise, brewed coffee (or water), and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes and pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know the keto chocolate cake is ready when you can insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake and it comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before frosting with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.

 

Next up, is making the chocolate cream cheese frosting. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, for about 3 minutes. Slowly add in the Swerve, sifted cocoa powder, vanilla, liquid stevia, and salt until combined.

If frosting’s not your thing, you can also serve the cake as is, or with a light dusting of confectioner’s-style Swerve.
