Keto Death by Chocolate Cake
This cake will be one of the moistest cakes you have ever had thanks to the addition of extra strong coffee! It is deep in chocolate and then covered in a rich, chocolate ganache! The picture speaks for itself.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2
In the meantime, melt the butter in a heat proof bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Add the vanilla.
Step 3
Add butter mixture to the dry mixture and slightly mix then add the eggs (mix slightly).
Step 4
Add the coffee (the stronger the coffee the better!), do not add the coffee to the cake batter when it is too hot, but warm is ok.
Step 5
Pour batter into a very well greased or sprayed with cooking spray 8” round cake pan.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or the cake springs back to the touch. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it with ganache.
Step 7
To make the ganache, heat the cream in a heatproof liquid measuring cup until very hot in the microwave. For my microwave, this was 30 seconds and then another 15 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and allow it to sit in the hot cream for 1 minute.
Step 8
Stir the chocolate until completely melted. If the chocolate is not completely melted, heat in the microwave in 5 second increments, stirring after each time.
Step 9
Pour the warm glaze over the cooled cake and spread the ganache out to the edges of the cake to allow it to drip down the sides. You can place the cake on a cooling rack over a piece of parchment to allow the chocolate to drip down. Or use a plate if you don’t want to waste any chocolate.
