CHOCOLATE CHIP KETO CAKE

/
CHOCOLATE CHIP KETO CAKE WITH COCONUT BUTTER GLAZE.jpg

My family absolutely loves this grain-free chocolate chip cake.  Which is music to my ears since it’s super simple to make, free of added sugar, and packed with healthy fats, protein, and (optional) adaptogens, too.

I like to use cashew butter or a combination of cashew and peanut butter for this cake. Fatso Salted Caramel peanut butter is also delicious. For a nut-free option, it can be made with tahini.

My suggestion?  Give it a go. And eat it for brekkie, too — #doctorsorders!

Ingredients:

  • 4 pasture-raised eggs

  • 1 cup drippy cashew butter or peanut butter (or tahini for nut-free*)

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek or non-dairy yogurt

  • 1/4 cup Further Food collagen peptides (I like to use the vanilla collagen)

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Lakanto Powdered sugar-fee monk fruit sweetener or Swerve or equivalent (non-keto can use coconut sugar)

  • 1 Tbsp Plant Burst or Organika maca powder (optional)

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (such as Lily’s Sweets)

  • optional toppings: melted coconut butter mixed with Lakanto sweetener to taste (or cashew butter and cacao powder below), chocolate chips, or toppings of choice

*Notes: For a sweeter cake, especially if you use tahini (to offset bitterness), increase sweetener to 1/3 or 1/2 cup.
