Keto Paleo Flourless Chocolate Cake

You can never go wrong with a decadent low-carb chocolate cake, especially if it is flour-free, nut-free, and gluten-free. This delicious cake is one of the best paleo dessert recipes out there. You only need a handful of ingredients, 20 minutes of your time, and a set of basic culinary skills to prepare this cake. Moreover, this paleo recipe is super customizable and can be adjusted to your preference.

What type of chocolate should you use for this recipe?

For this recipe, we have used a semi-sweet paleo-friendly chocolate bar since it yields a smooth and rich texture while adding a little bit of sweetness. If you follow a strict paleo diet, picking the right chocolate type is essential. You’ll need to choose a brand of chocolate that is dairy-free, sweetened with stevia or erythritol, and is free of additives and chemicals. You are more likely to find chocolate suitable for a paleo diet in health food stores.

How can you customize this paleo dessert recipe?

We think this dense chocolate cake is perfect as is, but feel free to customize it to your liking. You can add orange zest to the batter for an orange chocolate cake, or add a few raspberries on top before baking. You can also add pure hazelnut extract if you like the combination of chocolate and hazelnut.

Can you adjust this low-carb recipe to a dairy-free diet?

Absolutely! The only dairy product in this recipe is ghee, which can be easily substituted. You can use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor or virgin coconut oil if you like the prevalent coconut flavor.

Serving suggestions:

We kept it simple and served this gooey chocolate cake with a dusting of cacao powder, but you can definitely serve it to your liking. Some great options include whipped coconut cream, a drizzle of nut butter, or fresh fruit like strawberry, raspberry, or blueberry.
