This keto coconut chocolate cake recipe was made by request of one of my Facebook followers. His friend who loves chocolate and coconut cake had a birthday coming up so he asked if there was a way to make this dessert without breaking their keto diet. That said, this keto coconut chocolate cake is my response — wishing this chocolate-lover a happy and healthy birthday!
After making this recipe, I’m so thankful that my follower reached out because this is now one of my absolute favorite keto desserts. The coconut and cream cheese in the frosting brings out an incredible flavor. And when that frosting is smoothed out over two layers of chocolate cakes and topped with crunchy coconut chips, it’s a match made in heaven.
