If you’ve never had Texas Sheet Cake, you’re in for a treat. This traditional Southern dessert isn’t dense like a typical chocolate cake, but rather has a light and fluffy texture, and a dark, rich flavor, making it every chocolate-lovers dream. The best part is, that this keto version is just as big and chocolatey, but also low-carb, low-sugar, and filled with high-quality fats. Keto Texas sheet cakes are similar to German chocolate cakes. This one, however, swaps out the sugary, coconut-pecan frosting for a decadent chocolate avocado one.
This easy, delicious keto texas sheet cake recipe lets you satisfy your cravings and celebrate birthdays without falling off your low-carb eating plan.
