Chocolate Butter Cake
This basic keto chocolate butter cake is so easy to make, and it is soft, moist and delicious. You can always take it to the next level by adding chocolate ganache or buttercream.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sweetener at medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides intermittently.
5. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk to combine.
6. Add the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
7. Add the dry ingredients gradually and whisk to combine. Then use a spatula to mix thoroughly. The batter should be smooth and thick.
8. Scoop the batter into an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2" loaf pan greased and lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. You can also use a 9 x 5" loaf pan or any bigger pan of square, rectangular or round shape which will actually cook faster to prevent over browning as chocolate can burn quite easily. You can even make them into cupcakes as suggested by someone here.
9. Bake for 50 to 60 mins or until cooked. If you use a bigger pan, it will require less cooking time. Just test with a wooden skewer. Cover with foil midway to prevent over browning.
10. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
11. After baking, you may find that the cake appears oily from the butter, but it is normal and that is what makes the cake moist. Just use a paper towel to absorb any excess oil from the bottom of the cake. Once you chill the cake, the oil is not so noticeable, and it remains moist.
12. The cake can be kept at room temperature for a few days if you have a cool and dry climate otherwise, it is better to refrigerate earlier. The cake can be eaten chilled, and it actually taste good.
13. The cake can be refrigerated up to a week and frozen for months.
