KETO CAKE RECIPES:

A celebration is coming up and you’re looking for suitable low-carb sweets you can eat?

When it comes to our favorite low-carb cake recipes, this Keto Mug Cake, Lemon Keto Vanilla Cake, Keto Cheese Cake, Keto Carrot Cake, and this Keto Chocolate Cake are our absolute favorites.

OUR FAVORITE KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE:

Everyone needs an amazing chocolate cake recipe in their back pocket when that chocolate craving hits.

Keto Chocolate Cake is easy to make with just ONE bowl and is baked intensely rich, moist, and chocolaty with a light, airy sponge.

It’s a sugar-free chocolate cake recipe that is perfect for birthdays, parties, or any celebration. where you need a gluten-free, grain-free, or low-carb dessert that’s suitable for diabetics.

My husband has a sweet tooth and for his next birthday party, we plan to have a dessert table. That includes this delicious keto birthday cake, keto brownies, keto chocolate chip cookies, and keto ice cream.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THIS LOW CARBOHYDRATE CAKE RECIPE:

Regular non-keto Death By Chocolate Cake recipes is usually made with a combination of butter, all-purpose flour, eggs, and granulated sugar.

Since this is a sugar-free chocolate cake, our keto chocolate cake recipe is made with the following ingredients:

Almond Flour – Make sure to use extra-fine bleached almond flour and not almond flour. Almond flour is the main nut flour that provides most of the volume. Measure correctly using the spoon and level method.

Coconut Flour: This gluten-free flour provides structure to the cake and absorbs moisture, so be sure to fluff before measuring. When combined with almond flour, it balances the flavor of gluten-free cakes to mimic classic flour cakes.

Baking Powder and 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda – This combination of yeast powders works together to help the cake rise.

Vanilla Salt Extract – Makes the cake delicious and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.

Monk Fruit Powdered Sweetener – A low glycemic index sugar-free sweetener that resembles the taste of regular confectioner’s sugar, but is keto, diabetic, and paleo-friendly.

If you don’t have monk fruit sweetener, you can swap it out for another low-carb sweetener like SWERVE or erythritol. And if it’s not low carb, regular powdered sugar would work too.

Melted Coconut Oil – Makes the cake tender and moist and adds a slight coconut flavor. You can also use any other neutral-flavored oil, melted butter, or ghee if it’s not dairy-free.

Eggs: help to give structure to the cake and bring everything together.

Almond milk: or any other milk of your choice (if not dairy-free, you can use 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream)

Vinegar – Combine with the almond milk and steep 5 minutes until set = homemade low-carb vegan buttermilk to make the cake smooth and ultra-moist.

HOW TO MAKE KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE:

PREHEAT THE OVEN AND PREPARE THE CAKE TRAYS: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two 8-inch cake pans and lines the bottom with parchment paper.
MAKE THE CAKE BATTER: Add almond milk and apple cider vinegar to a large measuring cup. Reserve and let stand (and set) for 5 minutes while mixing the dry ingredients.

MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS:

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and beat to combine.
ADD WET INGREDIENTS: Add beaten eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Pour in the curdled milk and beat until completely combined.
Transfer cake batter to pans – Divide batter evenly between two baking sheets.
BAKE THE CAKE: Bake in preheated oven for 18-25 minutes (turning pans halfway) or until the toothpick comes out clean. (DO NOT OVERBAKE: minutes of cooking time vary from oven to oven)
COOLING THE CAKE LAYERS: Let the cakes cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Remove the parchment paper liner. Let cool completely before frosting.

Low Carb Keto Corn Bread Recipe

September 11, 2021 by saharnabil Leave a Comment

Yes, you can enjoy cornbread on the ketogenic diet! Made with almond flour, it is tender and fluffy, very tasty, with a touch of sweetness.

I was not sure how to make this recipe. At first, I thought I would only use almond flour. Finally, I settled on a small amount of cornmeal to make the experience as authentic as possible.

I think it was the right decision. This wonderful keto cornbread has officially joined my arsenal of “never feel deprived of the ketogenic diet!” recipes. It’s one of those favorite foods that you think you’ll have to cut out when you start low carb. But it turns out that it really isn’t.

KETO SUBSTITUTES THAT TASTE GOOD

After my husband and I transitioned to a low-carb diet, one of my missions in life was to make sure that we will never feel deprived. I knew it was the only way to ensure that the low-carb way of eating became a way of life for us rather than a temporary diet.

Over the years, I’ve developed many low-carb and ketogenic alternatives to high-carb treats. Here are some of the keto recipes that I make regularly, recipes that make us feel like we really don’t miss a thing by following a low carb diet:

Banana bread

Zucchini Lasagna

Keto Chocolate Cake

Keto Donuts Recipe

There are many more! These are just some examples. And this wonderful bread is another. It’s soft and fluffy, and the combination of the almond flour and the very little cornmeal I use in this recipe makes it taste almost like real cornbread (albeit with a less pronounced corn flavor).

`INGREDIENTS`

You will only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty keto cornbread. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here is an overview of what you will need:

Eggs – I use large eggs in most of my recipes.

Sweetener: I use stevia glycerite. You can probably replace it with a granulated sweetener, although I haven’t tried it.

Melted butter – European butter tastes great!

Almond flour: I use bleached and finely ground almond flour. I don’t recommend using coarse almond flour. There is a difference.

Coarse Cornmeal: Only ¼ cup (use gluten-free if necessary).

Kosher Salt: If you use fine salt, you may want to reduce the amount you use. A teaspoon of kosher salt weighs less than a teaspoon of regular salt.

Baking Powder: Gluten-free if needed, and make sure it’s fresh.

HOW TO MAKE A KETO CORNBREAD

Is so easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:

Mix the ingredients. Just mix everything by hand, in the order listed.

Add water if necessary. Add a little water if the batter is stubbornly thick and difficult to mix.

Transfer to a baking dish. Pour into a greased baking dish lined with parchment paper.

To bake. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes at 350 ° F.

IS CORNMEAL KETO?

It’s not. It is high in carbohydrates. But I tend to look at the macros of the final product rather than insisting that every ingredient is strictly keto. This is why I usually use whole milk in my recipes, for example.

I would never advise anyone on the keto diet to drink glasses of milk. But ½ cup of pasta divided into 10 servings is fine with me.

And the same goes for cornmeal – ¼ cup divided into 12 servings is acceptable in my opinion.

WHAT TYPE OF CORNMEAL TO USE

I use Bob’s Red Mill coarse cornmeal. In my opinion, with the little I use here, coarse grinding has the most effective in terms of flavor and texture.

I don’t know if this particular brand is gluten-free so if you need this recipe to be gluten-free please check.

WHAT PAN TO USE

I like to use a small baking dish because then the keto cornbread is good and tall. So I use a 5X7 inch rectangular glass food storage plate. It’s marked oven safe and I bake with it often.

But you can absolutely use a standard 8-inch square baking dish. The bread just won’t be that tall, but it won’t be flat either. Just don’t use anything bigger than that, or the bread will be too flat.

If you use a smaller rectangular pan, you will probably need to bake the bread for about 25 minutes. If you use a larger skillet, 20 minutes should do it.

HOW MANY SLICES ARE IN THIS KETO CORNBREAD?

That depends on the pan you use. When I use a rectangular skillet, I cut the bread into 12 squares, as shown in the video below. When I use a square skillet, I cut it into nine squares.

CAN I USE A SWEETENER OTHER THAN STEVIA?

Yes. You can use 2 tablespoons of any granulated sweetener. You can probably use 2 tablespoons of liquid sweetener as well, but I haven’t tried that.

DOES IT HAVE THE REAL FLAVOR?

No, it is not. Made with almond flour and just a pinch of cornmeal, it can’t be exactly like the real thing. But it’s delicious, and it’s a great substitute for those who can’t eat the real thing.

HOW TO SERVE KETO CORNBREAD

It is such a versatile bread that I use it for many different things. Here are some ideas:

It’s so good with chili (try my beanless chili recipe! It’s great).
It’s the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table – serve with salty soft butter.
I love sweet butter for breakfast with my coffee! My kids like to sprinkle it with a little honey. Sometimes I use unsweetened honey.
It pairs well with barbecue dishes, like these baked ribs.
And it is a great accompaniment to rich soups: try it with this meat soup with vegetables.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE LEFT?

Once it’s completely cold, I store the leftover keto cornbread in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 5 days. Heat them in the microwave – 5 seconds per square. They also freeze well.
