This keto chocolate cake with chocolate glaze proves that bad-tasting desserts don’t have to make you feel foggy and fatigued. With a silky chocolate glaze and perfect crumb, this keto- and paleo-friendly cake is free from grains, sugar, and milk — but still delivers perfect fudgy flavor in every bite.
There’s nothing like finishing a meal with a moist piece of cake. However, traditional cakes usually use flour and sugar, or frostings with mystery additives and oils that taste bad and make you feel even worse. This homemade keto chocolate cake utilizes ingredients that go easier on your gut and keep inflammation at bay — so you won’t have to feel guilty going back for a second (or third) piece.
When you make keto chocolate cake, it is best served warm with the chocolate glaze drizzled on top.
