Why You Should Make This Chocolate Mousse Cake

At only 230 calories and 5 net carbs per slice, you can enjoy this cake guilt free. Most importantly, this cake doesn't taste sugar free or low carb at all so even your picky eaters and sugar lovers will love this.

This chocolate mousse cake might look fancy, but it's very simple to make. You can bake it the day before and frost it the day of your occasion to make life easier.

I used sugar free dark chocolate for this recipe because I wanted the rich flavor and deep color. You can easily use a semi-sweet or even milk chocolate in this cake as well.

I wanted the bold and richness of the dark chocolate. And I am so glad I used it.

The shaved chocolate topping also makes it even more pretty as well. You can top with whipped cream if you'd like as well.

Get creative and add some chocolate chips on top, sliced almonds or other nuts or seeds, drizzle with peanut or almond butter, add some other types of berries... you get the idea.

Fluffy mousse frosting is everything! I have always been a frosting girl, I could honestly eat it by the spoonful.

Especially any type of homemade frosting. It blows away any of the store bought kind.

Yes, even this frosting that is sugar free and low carb.

Recipe Ingredients

• Almond flour -  I use the super fine almond flour in all of my baked goods because it lends the lightest, ideal texture, especially in gluten free desserts.
• Coconut flour - Coconut flour is light, naturally sugar free and low in carbs which makes it extremely versatile for low carb baking. I always use this coconut flour for my baking. I love baking with both almond and coconut flour for the perfect texture.
• Sugar free chocolate - I use Lily's Chocolate that is sugar free and sweetened only with stevia and erythritol. You can use whatever you'd like in here.
• Eggs - Eggs add structure and flavor to baked goods. Choose cage free and organic eggs.
• Monk fruit - I used the both the powdered and granular forms of Monk Fruit for this recipe. The brand I use all the time is this one. You can also substitute with the sugar free alternative of your choice.
• Apple cider vinegar - The acids in the vinegar also help activate baking powder which enhances the rising of your baked goods.
• Heavy whipping cream - Heavy whipping cream adds moisture to baked goods.
• Cocoa powder - Please read your ingredient labels, it should only ay 100% cocoa powder and nothing else.
