- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Refrigerate: This keto chocolate cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, covered in cling wrap or an airtight container.

Tips for a Perfect Keto Flourless Chocolate Cake
- Quality Chocolate is Key: The flavor of your cake depends heavily on the chocolate you use. For the best results, choose a high-quality, sugar-free dark chocolate.
