It’s getting nuts again. I have been looking for a low carb and paleo-friendly chocolate cake. Previously, I shared my recipe for the paleo hazelnut chocolate fudge<\/a>\u00a0with you. I wanted to elevate this recipe to another – calorie-dense and yet outstandingly delicious – level. Here comes the nutty chocolate cake. It’s relatively low carb and paleo-friendly.<\/p>\n

Nutty Chocolate Cake: Dark Chocolate<\/h1>\n

In order to get this cake as low carb as possible, you need to pay attention to your dark chocolate. The major part of the carbohydrates in my nutty chocolate cake is located in the chocolate.<\/p>\n

The range of carbs from 70%<\/a> up to 99%<\/a> of cocoa in your chocolate can make the difference. The former has around 34% of carbohydrates and the later only 8% per 100g. That’s a huge difference in carbohydrates. Of course, it also depends on the brand you use but the idea remains the same.<\/p>\n

\"Dark<\/a>Besides that, I would recommend you to take great chocolate. This will be more expensive but this treat ought to be something special and nothing you have on your plate every other day.<\/p>\n

In my recipe, I blended 3 different types of chocolate. I used what I had at home but all of them had way more than 80% of cocoa content.<\/p>\n

Nutty Chocolate Cake: Sugar<\/h1>\n

The remaining carbohydrates can be found in the sugar used in the recipe. You don’t need to add as much sugar as in the recipe. You can use more, you can use less. If you have been used to LCHF, keto or paleo diets your sweet tooth probably has been down-regulated already. In that case, you should do well with my recipe and sugar content<\/p>\n

\"Sugar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to keep some sweetness to the\u00a0nutty chocolate cake but reduce the net carbs, simply switch the home made vanilla sugar with\u00a0erythritol and add a fresh pod of vanilla bean to the batter.<\/p>\n

Nutty Chocolate Cake: Fat<\/h1>\n

This cake is a calorie-dense recipe. The major 3 ingredients are all good sources of and high in fat<\/p>\n
