Sugar Free Chocolate Pound Cake
A delicious sugar free chocolate pound cake recipe
Servings: 1 cake
Ingredients
- Flour AP- 3 ½ cups. Make this low carb- Using Carbalose flour alternative
- Salt- ½ teaspoon.
- Baking Powder- ½ 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- ½ 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 (½ cup in addition to the 2 sticks above).
- Eggs- 5.
- Cocoa Powder- ½ cup.
- Milk- 1 cup.
- Vanilla Extract-2 teaspoons.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325. Prep your pan well for nonstick.
- In a small bowl, mix together your flour, salt, and baking powder. Set this aside.
- Now in a mixing bowl, creme together the butter, shortening and the sugar alternative.
- Add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the mixing bowl, gently stirring between additions. Then add the eggs one egg at a time, gently stirring between additions as well.
- Stir the cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract, taking care to not over mix. However, the ingredients should be blended.
- 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.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minuted before you remove it from the pan.
