The Best Part – Quick and Easy
Believe it or not, you can have this homemade cake and frosting made and ready to serve in less than an hour. It’s sure to become a regular dessert on your family’s menu!
The Secret Ingredient
The secret ingredient in this recipe is mayonnaise. But don’t let the idea of mayonnaise in a cake scare you away. Mayonnaise is made from oil and eggs which is in most cake recipes. This cake is moist and decadent.
Preparing the Cake
You’ll start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 13×9 inch pan.
Sift together flour, swerve, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add mayonnaise, brewed coffee (or water), and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes and pour into prepared pan.
Baking the Cake
Bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know the keto chocolate cake is ready when you can insert a toothpick into the middle of the cake and it comes out clean. The cake will continue to set as it cools, so don’t be surprised if it’s not totally set right out of the oven. Let cake cool completely before frosting with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
Making the Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
Next up, is making the chocolate cream cheese frosting. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, for about 3 minutes. Slowly add in the Swerve, sifted cocoa powder, vanilla, liquid stevia, and salt until combined.
Serving Options
If frosting’s not your thing, you can also serve the cake as is, or with a light dusting of confectioner’s-style Swerve.
