My mother has always been a master at baking cakes, pies, and biscuits. Unfortunately, I didn’t inherit her talent in the kitchen.
Every time I attempted to bake a cake, it would turn out either undercooked in the center, too hard on the outside, or simply not as delicious as hers. After numerous failed attempts, I eventually gave up on baking altogether.
But they say that necessity is the mother of all inventions, so I decided to give it one last try and make a Keto cake. I mean, how difficult could it be? After all, I successfully made Keto Bread just a couple of weeks ago!
I must confess, I did a lot of research and was tempted to go for an easy mug cake recipe instead. However, today I’m excited to share with you my recipe for a mouthwatering Keto Chocolate Cake with a delightful cream filling in the middle.
So, let’s get started and prove that even a baking novice like me can create a scrumptious Keto cake dessert!

Tip: The cream cheese filling is a great add-on, to increase the fat content of the cake. You can also just make the cake and enjoy it with your BPC in the mornings, or whenever you want to treat yourself. You might want to replace the Amul Butter with a non-salty butter, if you don’t like a hint of salt in your cake — Priya Dogra.
