Keto chocolate gooey cake
Okay, so now is the time for chocolate. While you can choose from a number of chocolate-something keto recipes here on My Sweet Keto, this is the number one recipe if you are into the gooey stuff.
I'm talking crunchy on the outside and delightfully gooey, almost runny, on the inside. Not to mention the amount of chocolate! Have I mentioned chocolate?
Make sure you get some quality cocoa powder. Ordinary (kind of reddish color) or Dutch (darker color), whatever tastes best to you.
This cake is not about rising up.
At first, it does puff up as it is baked but collapses when cooled. That's not wrong. On the contrary, it is the whole point of this heavenly chocolate dessert.
Keto Kladdkaka
No, that is not a typo. It is rather one of Sweden's most popular cakes. Kladdkaka is Sweedish forsticky cake. I have only discovered it recently. Been to this Scandinavian country on a couple of occasions years ago but didn't get to try this.
Now, I can close my eyes, remember the Swedish scenery and indulge in bites of its paradise. Low carbandketo-friendly version of Swedish paradise, that is!
Gooey cake tips
My guess is you are reading this recipe because you likegooey. If so, make sure you don't overbake the cake or it will become a dry chocolate sponge cake. Still delicious, though. This cake is so easy to make and bake, it should not be logisticallyimpossible to prepare it just before your guests arrive.
It is best served warm.
If you don't plan on having guests, I won't blame you if the whole chocolate delight disappears anyhow. On the other hand, leftovers can always be heated up in a microwave on medium for 30 seconds.
Gooey fans, do not wait for too long; Go and bake this simple Sweedish chocolate delight!

Cuisine Keto
Servings 8 pieces
Calories 135 kcal
Ingredients
- 7 tablespoon butter - unsalted
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 oz cocoa powder - approx. ¼ cup, unsweetened
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large eggs - room temperature!
- ¾ cup powdered sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an approximately 7-inch springform pan.
Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Using an electric whisk, whisk together the eggs, erythritol (plus optional stevia), and vanilla extract. Keep whisking for at least 5 minutes straight until you get a nice, pale, and foamy mixture.
Carefully fold the flour-cocoa mixture into the egg mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in the melted butter. Stir until fully incorporated and then pour into the prepared pan.
Bake on the lower rack of the oven for 18 - 22 minutes until the center is lightly set. Don't overbake if you don't want a gooey and not a dry cake.
Cool for 20 minutes on a wired rack. Serve warm. The cake can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days. Before serving, warm a piece in a microwave on medium for 30 seconds.

It looks ok, but we don't stir it around with an electric beater in Sweden. The Right way is to use a spatula and combine all ingredients by hand to make it really sticky as it is, now that is how the end result will make it a "Sticky Cake", aka Kladdkaka.The Swedish way is not to use a spray can for the form either, you take a click of butter, take some paper, and do it the old fashioned way, and then you add dry bread crumbs and make sure that it sticks, save the rest of the bread crumbs for another day.
It's the old fashioned way that we do it in Sweden.

Hi I’m going to try make this tonight! Looks yum.. I just logged it into my fitness pal though, and saw it is 13.3g carbs per serving, with only 0.7g of dietary fiber.. it shows no sugar alcohols (I pasted exact recipe). Any ideas?
Reply
Tisa says
Hi! The app might pull in erythritol that has all the carbs listed as total instead of sugar alcohol. When I used the app, I would input my own sweetener to make all the carbs count as sugar alcohols.
I guess this might be the problem.Reply

Yomaira says
I just made this recipe but I find the cake way too greasy. I know that itMs a gooey cake but I had butter bubbles coming from the cake when baking. I followed the 7tbsp butter and I had melted butter at the bottom of the pan and the cake itself was greasy, should I use less butter next time? Not sure what was wrong with it. Also, I used granulated erythtinol and I think this gave the cake a “spicy” aftertaste. Any recommendations for next time?Reply
Tisa says
Hi. Did you use blanched almond flour or almond meal? The latter could result in too much grease not being soaked up by the flour. Plus, the sweetener should be powdered as stated in the recipe instructions. If you find erythritol spicy, you might want to try a blend, for example, erythritol monk fruit blend or swerve or anything to your liking.

Angie says
Hi... followed the recipe exactly, except 1/2 cup swerve instead of 3/4 cup. It was delicious ... but it was a moist spongy cake - not sticky and gooey. Baked at 350 degrees F for 19 mins - but I guess that was too long. The top wasn’t crisp though...
Is it also possible that I beat the eggs and sweetener too much? I was trying to get it to look like the second picture, and did get there after a while of whisking! I definitely want to try again... really hoping for a gooey cake.
Thank you for the recipe.Reply
Tisa says
Hi, Angie! I am sorry to hear that and wish I knew what's going on in your case. I don't believe beating eggs too much is the problem. I'd rather guess that the oven is hotter than you think. Ovens, unfortunately, vary a lot int their functioning. I'd suggest you try baking at 320 or 310°F or shorten the baking time to approx. 15 minutes.
All the best!

Angie says
Thank you for the advice.... much appreciated. Finally tried it again (after a flurry of blueberry-baking to get through the fresh blueberries!) - turned out better, as in a little more dense and a touch wet, but not quite gooey ... hahaha. 15 mins @ 310 degrees - knife inserted came out totally coated. Left it in a tad too long thereafter! Was still a great cake. Plan to try again...
Thank you.Reply

Hello. Am I supposed to use powdered erythritol or granulated? I used powder and my egg mix did not fluff up at all. The end mixture was also very thick?

Hi. It's hard to say where things went wrong without having all the info. Maybe the mixing time was too short or the bowl wet ...? Eggs + powdered sweetener + long mixing time should result in fluffy egg mix at some point.

An granulated monf fruit sweetener be used jnstead?

Granulated monk fruit sweetener is usually a blend of erythritol and monk fruit extract. To me, it has less aftertaste than erythritol alone. I suggest you try it out yourself and see if you like it.

Carob is full of sugar and can't be used as an ingredient in a keto recipe. But if you are not following a strict keto diet and looking for alternatives, do it with carob and let us know about the outcome. Maybe we can do a low-carb version of this recipe?
Why are you chocolate free?Reply

How on earth do you measure 1/16 of a teaspoon of stevia?? And is that really enough with the bitter cocoa? Cheers Janice
Reply
Tisa says
Hey, Janice. I couldn't help myself but laugh because, yes, you are right. This is one of my oldest recipes where I would still combine erythritol with a dash (true, who can measure 1/16 tsp, haha) of stevia to get to the sweetness of sugar. These days, I encourage people to either use sweetener blends they like or make their own. So yeah, in the original recipe, erythritol + stevia are supposed to balance the bitterness of cocoa, not just a dash of stevia.

i'm about to make this but confused at the "1oz cocoa powder. approx 1/4 cup". 1 oz is half of 1/4 cup... so which is it? 1 oz (.12 c) or 2 oz (.25 c).
Reply
Tisa says
I'd always suggest measuring in weight rather than cups, but some desserts here are not delicate enough to worry about that too much, and a lot of US folks find it easier to measure in cups. 1 oz. can measure out less than 1/4 cup if you tap it down or there if the cocoa powder isn't "airy" enough in the first place. So, I'd go with 1 oz.

@Marion - you are comparing oranges to ORANGES. 1oz cocoa powder by weight = 1/4 c by volume.
No sure why this wasn’t clarified, but interested to hear if you made it . . .

I made a double recipe of this yesterday and I couldn't get the egg mixture to lighten and thicken like your pictures either and I beat it on high speed for at least 8 minutes and used large eggs. The cake turned out amazing regardless though! So yummy! My kids who are wary of all the new keto stuff I'm making highly approved! Could the lack of thickening be due to using cold eggs instead of room temperature maybe?
Reply
Tisa says
Hi.
Well, it could be that the eggs were too cold. It is still weird, though, that they wouldn't foam and become fluffy even after 8 minutes. Maybe the eggs were also a bit aged? Newer fresh eggs will reach more volume and have greater stability when beaten than older eggs.I am happy that the result was still delightful for you and yours!

Hi. I don't think this would work very well due to loss of bulk. You can only use very tiny amounts of pure stevia powder (maybe a 1/8 tsp if its pure extract) and the result will probably not be the same. But you can always try. Bests,

Nikki Chaffin says
My result was completely by mistake and absolutely wonderful oh, so I must share. So I began by putting the 3/4 cup of erythritol into the coffee bean grinder which turned it into the confectioners type pretty much instantly. Then I put the 1/2 cup of almond flour and quarter cup of cocoa powder into the coffee grinder and pulsed that for a few seconds and then dumped that into the already ground erythritol. Dumped the bowl of dry ingredients through the sifter to sift them together. Took the butter that I'd already melted and beat two eggs into it dump some, vanilla into that. Then poured the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stirred well with a spoon. Put into mini muffin tens and baked for 20 minutes. So I got all the ingredients right I just had not followed the steps well and it was too late to correct so I just mixed everything together without going through all those steps. And these couldn't possibly be more wonderful. I wish I could share the pictures.

For you 3/4 powdered sweetener, is the 3/4 before or after grinding it? If after how much do you use to start?
Thank you so muchReply

Hi, Tina. It's 3/4 powdered, so after grinding. I would start with only 1/2 cup and taste for sweetness. It might be enough if it is a sweetener as sweet as sugar.
Reply
Patti says
I have both Monkfruit in the Raw and Stevia cup for cup. Which do you think would come out better? I like monkfruit personally, has less of an after taste. Would I grind it into a powder or use it as is? And if so, how much of the original product would you suggest? I’m not a fan of trying things over and over again if I don’t have to. I’m making this for someone else or I’d be less picky lol. Your recipe just looked worth trying, so figured I should ask
Reply
My Sweet Keto says
Hi, Patti. I don't have any experience with either brand, but as I can tell, Stevia cup for cup is as sweet as sugar and should, therefore, add bulk to the recipe as erythritol does. I would personally add 1/2 cup + 2 T instead of 3/4 cup as erythritol is less sweet. And yes, grind it into a powder if you can.
Reply
April says
Yes. I’ve made this twice, using while eggs and the “thick, white, whipped consistency” never occurred. Went exactly by the recipe (two whole eggs, 3/4 C powdered 100% natural erythritol and 1tsp vanilla)
It’s still a runny, yellow consistency after beating on med speed for nearly 10 minute!Reply
My Sweet Keto says
I don't know what else to suggest, I'm sorry.
Whenever I beat eggs for a few minutes (on HIGHest speed possible), I get a creamy, thick consistency, especially when powdered sweetener is added. Not as much as if I was only beating egg whites, but the mixture does get pale yellow and creamy as seen on the instruction picture. Could it be that the eggs are kind of old and runny in the first place? Also, it is important that they are not smaller than "large" so that there is enough proportion of egg white. Just a thought ...Reply
Ann says
Ok, recipe calls for eggs but in this reply you talk about egg whites. The photo definitely looks like egg whites, and they would tend to create the “lift” the recipe needs. Are we supposed to be using 2 egg whites instead of whole eggs?
Reply
Tisa says
Although the procedure photos are, admittedly, a tad lousy, those are whole eggs. The mixture is a pale yellow foamy mixture which you get if you mix room temperature eggs long enough on high speed. But, some eggs are more yellow than others, depending on what the hen had been fed.

Kristina says
Can I use the confectioner Swerve and how much
Reply
My Sweet Keto says
Yes, use maybe a Tbsp less than the recipe calls for because erythritol is less sweet than sugar and Swerve is as sweet as sugar. Just to make sure it will not turn out too sweet for you.

I am trying a second time now. I used all the ingredients in your recipe so no substitutions.

I'm sorry it hasn't turned out for you so well, Patricia. I hope you mix the eggs for a few minutes so that they get big in volume and foamy. From then on, everything is supposed to be stirred in carefully so that the mixture stays fluffy and big.

We are sensitive to the sugar alcohol substitutes. Have you tried it with just Stevia? Do you think it would work? If so, any idea about the amount? I think a quarter cup of Stevia would be way too much.
Reply
My Sweet Keto says
When I use stevia, I only take pure extract which is used in dashes. Some don't like the taste of stevia without any other sugar substitute added, but if you don't mind it, I would give it a try in this recipe.
Erythritol and other sugar-like sweeteners do add bulk and texture to recipes, though. So it might turn out a bit moister when you only use like a 1/8 tsp. of stevia powder instead of a bulk sweetener.
I've found erythritol - monk fruit sweetener to be a great mixture for keto desserts. I can't handle any sugar alcohols, either, except erythritol, but need to watch the amounts. Since pure erythritol is less sweet than sugar, you usually need to add a bit too much of it for my taste and gut. The monk fruit mixture is as sweet as sugar, and it doesn't cause any gut problems for me if you ever want to consider using it.

Kristina says

Yes. If it says it's as sweet as sugar, I would use 1/2 instead of 3/4 cup at first just to make sure that the batter won't get too sweet for you. Pure erythritol is less sweet than sugar, that's why.

Hi, Felicia.
That is regular butter listed in the recipe. Unsalted to make you more in control of the amount of salt in the recipe. You can use salted butter, though, if you wish.
Stevia extract is there to bring the sweetness of erythritol to the same level as sugar. You can use any sweetener you desire. There are a lot of options out there that are mixtures of erythritol and stevia or monk fruit which are as sweet as sugar already.

I made this tonight and was surprised to finally find a keto dessert that didn't have that sugar substitute taste.
