Seeking a guilt-free, sugar-free keto indulgence? This recipe provides a simple chocolate cake base that can be incorporated into various recipes. Feel free to get creative by including sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped walnuts. Try out a sugar-free butter icing for a delicious topping option.

Start by pre-heating your oven to 350 and then assemble your dry ingredients.

Begin by gathering your dry ingredients, ensuring accuracy with the help of a digital scale. This step sets the foundation for these low carb biscuits, ensuring each bite is both satisfying and carb-conscious.


Now, assemble your wet ingredients and whisk them together in a small bowl until they form a smooth mixture, ready to add into your dry ingredients.

Make a well in your dry ingredients and add in your wet ingredients.

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and whisk the wet ingredients together. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones and mix using a stand mixer. If mixing by hand, consider adding a bit of extra water (2 tablespoons).

Line a round cake pan with parchment paper, then pour the thick batter into it. Ensure the batter is spread evenly. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes without overcooking. To check if it’s done, use the toothpick test. Allow the cake to cool entirely before frosting it.

TIP – Smooth out the batter using the back of a wet spoon.
