My birthday is Monday and I was determined to make myself a keto birthday cake that everyone would love!

Inspired by my keto brownies, I made a few tweaks, and came up with this deliciously moist keto chocolate cake!

For this recipe, I used hazelnut flour in addition to almond flour because of the nutty flavor and because it gives a bit more density to keto baking.

Hazelnut Flour is naturally low in carbs, kosher, and naturally gluten-free, so it makes a great wheat flour alternative. However, cooking with hazelnut flour alone can be tricky. It is best used alongside your favorite almond flour.

Keto Chocolate Cake 

Ingredients:

• 1 c Almond flour
• ½ c Hazelnut flour
• 4 tbsp Melted butter
• ½ c Swerve brown sugar substitute
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• ½ tsp Baking soda
• ½ c Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs beaten
• 65 grams Keto Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and the brown sugar substitute. Stir until the sugar substitute is dissolved, and allow to cool. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, hazelnut flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and the cooled butter mixture. Beat on high for 2 minutes until well combined. 

Beat the eggs into the batter until thoroughly mixed. 

Fold in all but 1-2 tbsp of the keto chocolate chips to the batter mixture. 

Smooth the batter into an even layer in a well-greased loaf pan. 

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on the top of the cake. 

Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
