I recently returned from the Napa Valley and San Francisco where pastries are simply out of this world. Craving good sweets, I set out to immediately do some grain free, sugar free keto friendly baking. I was craving a keto chocolate cake.

I wanted to redo my keto chocolate cake recipe, and on a whim, I decided to make keto chocolate bundt cakes. I have had  this mini bundt pan  for years and only recently used it to make fancy ice for a punch bowl for our 20th anniversary party.

In the past month I made three keto chocolate cakes, but I wasn’t totally happy with them. Something in texture and taste was a bit off, so I tweaked and tweaked until I developed a recipe you would love to make over and over.

Today the sun was shining in my kitchen and this chocolate recipe is exactly the chocolate cake of most people’s childhood. Not too dark, not too heavy, not too sweet. Just right. The texture was everything I could dream of for any kind of cake. The batter is thick but will bake up light.

I put a simple cream cheese glaze, which stays stabilized.

I bake a lot of grain free cakes that are keto friendly here at Spinach Tiger. It’s not what I ever set out to do, as I like to cook Italian food, but lately I’m obsessed with grain free, sugar free baking.   I test my baked goods several times, which makes me feel confident in sharing them with you. I want you to enjoy keto desserts as much as I do.

These Keto Chocolate Bundt Cakes are Gluten Free

Keep in mind that most keto baked goods are gluten free and paleo friendly. This recipe uses coconut flour and has no gluten.

Baking Keto Chocolate Bundt Cakes

I go back and forth between almond flour, coconut flour or a combination of each. The thing that was happening for me is using almond flour with the cocoa powder which in my taste buds fought the added coffee. I wanted the coffee  to add a layer of flavor, but only as harmony.

I always use Swerve as my sweetener (powdered erythritol). Find out why HERE. 


Today I used coconut flour only, mixed my fats with half high quality butter (85% butterfat) and half avocado oil (which helps a cake rise and a little bit of sour cream. I must confess that I splurged for Valrhona cocoa powder, and I urge you to use this or a very high quality cocoa powder. It makes a difference.

When I went to take the keto chocolate bundt cakes out of the oven, I was thrilled with the way they rose.

Once they cooled, the texture or cake crumb was everything a sponge cake should be… soft, light, fluffy, and moist. This can be a challenge with regular flour let alone alternative flours. This will now be my perfect chocolate cake base recipe for many recipes to come, so now would be a good time to subscribe and not miss the sweets.

The only problem with these absolutely delicious keto chocolate bundt cakes is the portion. If you’re counting carbs, you should probably just eat half at 5 net carbs, so these are good for a couple to share. Of course, the day I made these, I ate a whole mini over the course of the day, which is the challenge of baking for a blog. After I make a recipe, I share some with a friend and then I freeze.

I topped these with a cream cheese glaze, sparingly. If you want more glaze, double the recipe. I put it in a pastry bag to apply.

Other options would be this chocolate frosting or a chocolate ganache. You could skip these and serve with raspberries and fresh whipped cream.

    What is vanilla paste? Your link for it goes to avocado oil on Amazon.

      Thank you! It looks like vanilla paste has sugar in it, so that’s not keto.

        At 3 carbs per 12 servings, that .25 carb per serving. That’s perfectly acceptable.
