This Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake is really a delicious cake to serve up.
I love the way that the chocolate and the buttery tastes work together in this cake.
Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake
Personally, I think that combining a pound cake with chocolate is a genius idea.
This is because both chocolate and pound cakes are delicious tastes by themselves. When combined together, the result is one great taste. The kind of taste that really can be enjoyed without anything on top or with them.
This Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake is also great year round.
While you could make this cake during the holiday season, it is also a good choice to share at a summer gathering. Because there is not icing needed, this cake will probably do better at a pot luck, tailgate or similar gathering.

The recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake
This recipe works great in a bundt style pan!
I prefer the Springform style for easy removal as well. However, a simple loaf pan will work as well.
Here is what you will need to make this recipe.
- Flour (AP)- 3 1/2 cups. Make this low carb- Using Carbalose flour alternative
- Salt- 1/2 teaspoon.
- Baking Powder- 1/2 teaspoon.
- Sugar alternative- 3 cups equivalent to sugar. Please use a granular alternative that is 1:1 with sugar in volume for best results.
- Butter- 2 sticks or 1 cup softened to room temperature.
- Shortening- 1/2 cup. Shortening is preferred as it will give this cake the volume and texture that it needs to be a true pound cake. However, not everyone is a fan of shortening. Thus, you could use butter or oil or a similar fat instead (1/2 cup in addition to the 2 sticks above).
- Eggs- 5.
- Cocoa Powder- 1/2 cup.
- Milk- 1 cup.
- Vanilla Extract-2 teaspoons.
How to make Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake

- Pour the batter into the prepped baking pan.
- Bake for 1 hour plus 20 minutes, check to see if it is done (using the clean toothpick method should work). If it is not done, check every 5-10 minutes until done.

Can the milk be sub’d with almond or another ǹon-dairy type milk?

Hi. I would totally try that. You may need to add a bit of ‘fat’ if the milk you are using seems to make the batter a bit too thin. thanks- let me know how it turns out!
