Sugar Free Chocolate Chunk Cocoa Cake

I am certainly one of those people who has had a chocolate craving in the past.
I am talking about the kind of craving where I need to have a massive dose of goodness all in one bite. Perhaps you have been there yourself.

Chocolate cake is a favorite for some many people.
I have friends who only want chocolate frosting on their chocolate cake as well. However, sometimes we would rather have an extra dose of chocolate in each bite rather than just on the top of the cake bites. Hence, we add chocolate chips to the recipe.

There are options for this recipe that you may like as well.

Make this cake gluten free by using gluten free flour , gluten free cocoa, and gluten free chocolate chips. Make this recipe low carb by using low carb Carbalose flour and low carb sugar free chocolate chips..

Sugar Free Chocolate Chunk Cocoa Cake

The recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Chunk Cocoa Cake

What you will need to make this Sugar Free Chocolate Chunk Cocoa Cake

  • Flour- 1 cup. All purpose flour or gluten free flour or low carb Carbalose flour.
  • Baking Soda- ½ teaspoon.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa- ½ cup. Make sure that yours has no added sugar.
  • Butter- 6 tablespoons softened to room temperature.
  • Sugar Alternative- Equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. Please use granular in this recipe.
  • Eggs- 2
  • Canola or similar oil- 2 ½ tablespoons.
  • Vanilla Extract- 1 ½ teaspoons.
  • Water- ½ cup plus 1 teaspoon, room temperature.
  • Sugar Free Chocolate Chips- ½ cup. Can make this chunky by using broken uplow carb sugar free chocolate bar instead. See post for gluten free options.

How to make Sugar Free Chocolate Chunk Cocoa Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 325 and prep your cake pan well for nonstick.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together your flour and baking soda. Then, stir in the cocoa. Set this bowl aside.
  • Now in a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar alternative. I use a paddle attachment on medium speed.
  • Once the butter and sugar have been creamed together, turn the mixer speed down. Add one egg and about half of the contents of the first bowl (flour etc) mix for 10-15 seconds and then add the remaining flour mixture and egg.
  • Add the oil, vanilla extract, and water and mix until smooth. Scrape the mixing bowl with a spoon if needed. Also, if the batter seems thick, which may happen as a result of using flour alternatives, add a teaspoon of additional water as needed.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Bake this for 30 minutes and then insert a toothpick in an area which you cannot see any visible chocolate chips. Chocolate chips that are melted can give a false result.
  • Bake this cake for another 5-10 minutes as needed. Be careful about where you are checking with a toothpick as mentioned, due to a possible false result. You will also need to use your eye to assess the cake.
  • Allow this cake to cool well before serving, frosting, etc.
