Keto Chocolate Cake Cheesecake

This is one cake that will have everyone loving you if you choose to make it!

It was only with the testing of the Keto Vanilla Cake, that I realised we did not even have a Chocolate Cake recipe.

Rather than just go with a standard chocolate cake I decided to top it off with a cheesecake on top. You can of course choose to make the cake on its own.

Frost it with ganache or a buttercream. Although I will say this recipe is something else.

The Chocolate Cake Ingredients

• Light tasting olive oil – use a neutral tasting olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is too strong. Alternatives could include avocado oil, or macadamia oil.
• Sweetener – I use Sukrin:1. Any granular or powdered sweetener will work in this recipe.
• Almond meal
• Unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder 
• Eggs – I always use a room temperature jumbo egg in all my baking
• Sour cream – for a dairy free cake use coconut yoghurt
• Vanilla extract
• Baking powder – I use aluminium free baking powder. I use Bobs Red Mill.

The Cheesecake Ingredients

• Cream Cheese
• Sweetener – I use Sukrin Melis powdered sweetener 
• Gelatin – I use Nutraorganics gelatin
• Thickened or heavy cream
• Vitawerx Chocolate – its sugar free and low carb. However, it is chocolate and also contains xylitol so keep away from dogs.

How to Make Chocolate Cake Cheesecake

This really is an easy recipe. Basically you can whisk this altogether in a large bowl, use a stand mixer, or a Thermomix®.

Temperatures in my recipes are fan-forced.

I always line my springform tins so the cake can easily be removed.

Allow to cool completely before topping with cheesecake.

When mixing the cheesecake ingredients, use softened cream cheese and mix all the ingredients until smooth. Taste the mix and add any extra vanilla to taste.

How to make the Flaked Chocolate

Melt the chocolate until silky and smooth. I microwave mine for 90 seconds and mix until completely smooth.

Spread the chocolate out until really thin on the kitchen bench with a scraper. Keep spreading until the chocolate starts to dry.

As it start to dry use the scraper and push away from you. This will cause flake roll ups. Turn on to the short end to allow to completely dry out.
