Keto Death by Chocolate Cake

Some of my favorite food now, and have always been, chocolate, chocolate…and more chocolate.

If you have as big of a sweet tooth as I do, you’re probably in the same boat. The good news for us is delicious chocolate is easier to come by than you might think on a keto diet. Of course we’re not talking Hershey’s Bars, or some of the other brands that are loaded with sugar…as low carb dieting becomes more and more popular, the options have been exploding.

My personal favorites for no sugar added chocolate have stayed true to Lily’s Sweets and ChocZero. These chocolates tend to be on the pricier side, but they’re definitely worth it for battling your cravings. While ChocZero is only available online, I like to look for Lily’s in the Health sections of my local grocery stores. Sometimes you’ll find the bars on sale, which is always a good time to stock up.

Do you want to see everyone at your table sink into silence, occasionally interrupted by a contented sigh? Serve this cake and watch the magic happen.

I love all the recipes I post on this site, but this sugar free chocolate cake recipe is special. That’s because it’s more than just a chocolate cake. It’s a crazy good, wonderfully rich, death by chocolate Keto chocolate cake.
This cake does nothing by halves. It contains as much chocolate as it can possibly handle, a generous amount of grass-fed butter and it is just on the right side of sweet. Basically, it is a Keto dream dessert.
