Here’s a detailed guide for a truly flourless, zero-carb recipe. Since most flours (wheat, almond, coconut) contain carbs, a zero-carb dessert or snack relies on eggs, cream, butter, chocolate (unsweetened), and flavorings — basically pure fats and proteins.
🍫 Flourless Zero-Carb Chocolate Cake (Keto-Friendly)
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g (3.5 oz) unsweetened baking chocolate
- 100 g (½ cup) unsalted butter
- 3–4 tbsp erythritol or stevia (zero-carb sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream (unsweetened)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease a small 8-inch cake pan.
- Melt chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave; stir until smooth.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, sweetener, salt, and vanilla until light and frothy.
- Fold chocolate mixture into the eggs gently, keeping the airiness.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake 18–22 minutes. The center should still be slightly soft.
- Cool 10 minutes before slicing. Dust with cocoa powder or add a dollop of whipped cream.
