My mother is very good at making cakes, pies and biscuits. Unfortunately, I did not pick up this gene from her. Every time I have baked a cake it has either been raw in the middle, or hard on the outside, or simply not like her’s. I gave up baking after many attempts. But they say necessity is the mother of all inventions. I decided to give it one last shot and try making a Keto cake. How tough can it be ? I made Keto Bread a fortnight ago! I admit I did a lot of research and was tempted to choose an easy recipe of a mug cake instead. Instead, I have for you today a Keto Chocolate Cake which has a yummy cream filling in the middle. So here it goes !!

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.
