Keto Friendly Recipe for Double Chocolate Cake 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and line two 8" cake pans or three 6" cake pans. Set pans aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, Purecane™ zero-calorie Baking Sweetener, baking powder, and salt together until well-combined. Create a well in the center. Add in the eggs, hot water, olive oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth batter but be careful not to overmix the batter. 
  3. Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. 
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the cake pans for at least 10 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack. 
  5. While the cakes cool, make the frosting by adding the room temperature butter and Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener to a large mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for 1 minute to combine, then increase speed to medium to mix until light and fluffy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the frosting consistency by adding more heavy cream to thin out or adding more sweetener for a thicker texture. 
  6. Frost the cooled cake, slice, serve, and enjoy!
