Keto Zucchini Chocolate Cake

Easy recipe for moist and rich LCHF keto zucchini chocolate cake! Your family and friends will like it! it's delicious, flourless, contains a lot of chocolate and it's really low in carbs!

I have a lot of fresh zucchini in my fridge because they are in season and so low in carbs! Barely I could close my fridge! My children's nanny, knowing that we are a major meat eaters, asked me - What are you gonna do with all that zucchini?

Immediately, my twisted mind thought about chocolate cake with zucchini! 😀

So, I grated zucchini, add some regular keto pantry ingredients like eggs, almond meal and coconut flour, plus some cinnamon and chocolate, bake it and voila! One of the best low carb chocolate cakes! I can't explain how delicious this keto cake is, you taste chocolate and rich flavor, but actually you can't taste zucchini at all.

Really, if you don't know that there is a zucchini, you would never tell!

Obviously, I don't have to tell you that the cake came out perfectly and it comes perfectly each time. My children don't realize any zucchini in the cake - it is pure chocolate cake for them and they enjoy it! We enjoy it too because this keto chocolate with zucchini goes perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea and that's my favorite way to relax. 

So I decided to take some photos and share this keto chocolate cake recipe with you. It also goes so great with a glass of some nice coconut milk or almond milk, or with bulletproof coffee or bulletproof tea if you like it.

TIPS TO MAKE KETO ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CAKE

GRATED ZUCCHINI

You will need to grate one big fresh zucchini. Here you can't use frozen zucchini because it won't be good. If you have a very sensitive children, I mean color sensitive, you might peel the zucchini before, to avoid them seeing little green pieces of zucchini in your cake. I don't peel mine, I always do it faster way xoxo, and my children don't mind in this case. Sometimes they mind, but not when it comes to chocolate cake!

LOW CARB FLOURS

For this keto chocolate zucchini cake almond flour and coconut flour combination is fantastic. You have really a feeling like you eat regular, rich, I mean very rich and moist chocolate cake.

Because this is a low carb chocolate cake, you will need some unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder, and I love to add few drops of my Vitality or Plus Orange edible essential oils and some cinnamon powder. Cinnamon and orange give elegant note to this cake, elevate the flavor, and it taste so much better!

CHOCOLATE AND WALNUTS

For extra boost of energy and flavor, I love adding chopped chocolate and walnuts in this cake. Instead of walnuts you can also use hazelnuts or pecans. These nuts complement to chocolate!

SERVING KETO CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH ZUCCHINI

I love serving this cake with just a few fresh berries or with some whipped heavy whipping cream.
