Today, I made a sugar free Texas Sheet Cake with the Serve Box Cake mix and it was done in 30 minutes start to stop. It tasted just as good as any Texas Sheet Cake I’ve ever had, and you would never know it’s sugar free. (Homemade Keto Chocolate Cake for this recipe found here).
I also made this cake completely from scratch (and a video is coming) and it was super delicious, and a crowd pleaser.
When Swerve sent me a few box cakes to try, I figured it would be a decent product, as you all know I’m an avid baker and I use powdered erythritol as a sugar substitute to keep it low carb.
The first time I used a Swerve Box Cake, I actually used two boxes to make a double layer cake for a birthday. I made used both a chocolate cake and a vanilla cake to make a double layer cake with this sugar free chocolate frosting for a birthday and people loved it.
The second cake I made was a chocolate cake with a sugar free peanut butter frosting, which won husband over quickly as this is his favorite combination. Recipe coming.
The third cake I made was a chocolate roll cake filled with stabilized whipped cream topped with chocolate frosting. Recipe Coming.
The fourth cake I made was these coconut cupcakes using Swerve’s Vanilla Cake Mix.
There are so many possibilities for Swerve’s Box Cake mix.
The Texas Sheet is a great idea because it’s so easy. Baking in a sheet pan only takes about 15 minutes, and you don’t have to cool the cake to put the icing on. Your pour it over when it’s warm. I was able to make the cake in 30 minutes.
I use a quarter sheet pan. I love the USA brand. I’ve had mine for years. It’s warp resistant and it’s the perfect size for Swerve one layer sheet pan cake.
Texas Sheet cake Icing is made on top of the stove
The icing is made on top of the stove as soon as the cake comes out of oven, using Swerve, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla, heavy cream, butter and pecans. It’s so good. I’ve seen some recipes that add coconut and you certainly could add unsweetened coconut, which will add even more texture.
If you’re wanting portion control, this is the way to go. I was able to cut 24 pieces of this delicious cake. The pieces freeze very well and you can microwave for about ten seconds when you need that little bite of chocolate.
The Swerve chocolate cake makes this recipe very easy to throw together.

My family LOVED this chocolate cake. I substituted coconut cream for the whipping cream and it turned out just fine(my husband has dairy allergies). The cake was moist and delicious. Hard to believe it was Keto. I will definitely make it again. I was wondering if you had a break down of the calories, protein, etc.?
I figured the macros and put them in the recipe. 2 net carbs. This is for the cake made from scratch.
Thank you for letting me know. I may do that for those who want dairy free.
Macros please?
There are 24 servings and 2 net carbs. I added it in. This is for the cake made from scratch.
What are the macros if you use the Swerve cake mix ?
Using the Swerve cake mix, the macro’s are 3 net carbs.
Could you post the nutritional information for this recipe? I am diabetic and trying to avoid carbs as much as possible. Thank you so much for your amazing recipes!
Thank you for this recipe & yummy-looking photo. Oh, what s fantastic looking cake! Soon as I decide whether to purchase the mix or take a stab at your recipe version, I’ll bake it up. Your frosting recipe alone has gotten me exited! 👏🏼 😋
I am just making this frosting recipe but I’m confused it asks for half a cup of unsalted butter and then later down in the recipe it says to mix the vanilla and salt and there’s no salt in the recipe. Can this be made with half a cup of salted butter ? I use Kerrygold
I just added the salt. If you use salted butter, skip salt.
