Sheet Pan Keto German Chocolate Cake (Oh So Good!)

You won’t believe how satisfying this recipe for an authentic sheet pan keto German chocolate cake is, especially once you see the list of ingredients. You’ll be making the cake from scratch using nothing but real, whole food ingredients and then pairing it with an irresistibly good homemade keto topping.

How to Make Sheet Pan Keto German Chocolate Cake

The first thing that you’ll need to do is prepare the chocolate cake itself before you can turn your attention to making the keto topping.

• Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350℉.
• Melt the chocolate. Melt the sugar-free dark chocolate and set aside.
• Combine the dry ingredients. Add the almond flour, raw cacao powder, and baking powder to a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs. Use the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to beat the eggs and a low carb granulated sweetener like Stevia for about 3-5 minutes, or until pale and fluffy.
• Add the butter and vanilla. Add the unsalted butter and pure vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
• Add the almond flour mixture. Add the almond flour mixture and beat until smooth.
• Prepare for baking. Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
• Bake. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
• Cool. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

How to Make the Homemade Keto Cake Topping

While you’re waiting for your chocolate cake to cool off, you can turn your attention to preparing this scrumptious homemade cake topping:

• Whisk. Add the egg yolks, full fat coconut milk, and sweetener to a saucepan and whisk to combine.
• Add the butter. Add ⅓ cup of butter.
• Cook. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a boil. You can then lower the heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes (until the mixture has thickened slightly).
• Add the pecans and coconut. Remove from the heat and add the chopped pecans and unsweetened finely shredded coconut and mix to combine.
• Spread. Spread the topping over the cake.
• Refrigerate. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour before serving.
