Best Sugar Free Chocolate Texas Sheet (Keto Friendly)

I believe I have the BEST keto chocolate cake recipe. I’ve worked and reworked my chocolate base until I thought it was good enough to star in my home keto bakery I started in July of 2019.  This is one of the most requested cakes along with my Keto German Chocolate Cake.

Swerve Boxed Cake Mix

I also 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.

If you haven’t heard of Swerve, please read my article here. 

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. 

Sheet Pan Cakes 

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. They have one slightly larger which also holds the same recipe, and if you use a half sheet pan, just double the recipe.

Texas Sheet cake Glaze 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. Do not put butter in pan and melt before adding ingredients. Add butter LAST, so it doesn’t separate. 

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.

You can make individual Texas Sheet cake as I do in my bakery. This recipe will make 12 individual Texas sheet cakes.

You CAN Make this Keto Texas Sheet Cake from Scratch

I recently made a video which is being edited making this from scratch. The recipe is below in case you don’t want to use the box cake.

Texas Sheet Cake is the perfect cake to make for the holidays, game day or even a tailgating party.

Notes

 

Re: Xanthan Gum: It’s not necessary. It does help to keep cake from being too crumbly, so I add a touch to my keto baked goods. You do not have to use it.
