This keto Chocolate Truffle Cake is such a treat for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving and Holiday season, or any special occasion!

Super decadent, we start off with an easy low-carb chocolate cake, fill it with smooth chocolate buttercream, the top it all off with chocolate truffles and chocolate shavings.

If you’ve been keto for a while I’ll warn you that this cake isn’t “keto sweet”, it’s just sweet. Over time when we stop eating sugar our taste for it diminishes and sweet things taste overly sweet, that’s the case here so I’m giving you a few options on how to make it less sweet. Now, if you’re making this for an occasion where not everyone is low-carb then I suggest leaving it as is as it just tastes like an amazing cake and has the right level of sweetness that everyone will expect.

If you’re making it for just keto folks I would suggest reducing the sweetener in the icing by half, and adding a bit more cacao. You can also swap out some of the butter in the buttercream for cream cheese which will help it be creamy and airy without as much of the sweetener. Otherwise, give this cake a go and I’m sure it will become a favorite!
