Chocolate Fudge Raspberry Sauce Cake Low Carb
Chocolate fudge raspberry sauce cake low carb, keto, grain-free, and paleo.
A lovely, decadent, Chocolate Fudge Raspberry Sauce Cake that is grain-free, paleo, low carb, and keto.
A divine chocolate cake with a sweet berry sauce. Perfect for special celebrations, Valentine's Day, or everyday chocolate emergencies!
Yes, chocolate emergencies do exist and can happen randomly at any time of the day.
I had to make this cake 3 times. The first time I had overcooked it, yes I burned it. The second time, my springform pan decided to have the spring give out just as I was taking it out of the oven.
The bottom of the pan fell out, and the cake fell all over the oven door. I could not save it, and now my oven needs a deep cleaning.
The third time I listened carefully for the oven timer and used a new pan, and it turned out amazing. A good thing too, as it had become a full-on chocolate emergency at that point!
Chocolate Fudge Raspberry Sauce Cake Low Carb or Paleo Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
Fudge Cake Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 cup granular sweetener of choice: erythritol for low carb (I used Swerve), or coconut sugar for paleo
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, this brand is corn free
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup butter, or coconut oil
- 2 ounces unsweetened dark baking chocolate
- 4 eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice: erythritol for low carb, or coconut sugar for paleo
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease or oil a 9 to10 inch Springform pan or 9 inch pan.
- In a large mixing bowl combine: cocoa powder, coconut flour, sweetener of choice, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix together thoroughly. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat combine and melt: butter or coconut oil, and unsweetened baking chocolate. Melt and stir together. Once it is melted and mixed completely, remove from heat. Let cool a couple of minutes.
- In a separate large mixing bowl combine: eggs, unsweetened apple sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix together thoroughly.
- Add egg mixture to coconut flour cocoa powder mixture. Stir together.
- Add melted butter or oil and chocolate mixture to the batter and stir together thoroughly.
- Pour or spoon into prepared pan. Spread batter evenly in pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (though it can be removed from oven a little underdone, just not overdone). Cool completely, and refrigerate for a couple of hours (refrigeration makes it fudgier texture).
- While the cake is cooling, you cake prepare the raspberry sauce.
- In a processor or blender, mix the berries and sweetener of choice until pureed. For a seedless sauce, you can press the puree through a mesh strainer into a bowl (I left the seeds in mine, as I don’t mind the seeds). Store sauce in a covered container in the fridge. Spread sauce over each cake slice right before serving. *the berry sauce keeps better stored separately.
- Store unused cake portions and sauce in the fridge.
