Low Carb Mini Skillet Chocolate Cake

Today I made this low carb mini skillet chocolate cake for two reasons. First, I was in the mood for cake and second, I wanted to use these cute mini cast iron skillets. I have a thing about small things, no jokes please ;). I like mini versions of just about everything so when I saw these skillets at Target I had to buy them. However this is the first time I’ve used them. They are perfect for 1 or 2 servings of a dish. And as for this cake, it’s basically a low carb version of my mom’s Texas sheet cake without the frosting. It’s moist and chocolatey and only has 4.3g net carbs for half of the skillet! (Believe that is more than enough.)

I made two versions of this low carb chocolate cake because I have been having a love affair with toasted coconut. However I wanted to test this on my son and I know he doesn’t like coconut.

The important ingredients in this recipe are the coconut flour, sweetener and sour cream. I wanted to use coconut flour because I didn’t want to use almond flour today. However coconut flour tends to be dry so that is why I used sour cream, just like my mom did for her chocolate cake. It worked out very well in this recipe. Also I love using Swerve sweetener for baking. This chocolate cake was very sweet and delicious!

Of course you don’t have to make these in a skillet but you will have play around with the baking times. I think it would work better in a 8×8 inch baking dish rather than a larger one. A pie plate may work well too. Just make sure the top is set. Don’t cook it too much or it will be dry. Oh and by the way these are 5 inch skillets.

This low carb skillet cake recipe makes 4 servings. I really think you can make it into 8 servings and be totally satisfied but I’ll keep the nutritional serving for ½ of the skillet. I hope you enjoy this low carb chocolate treat as much as we did. Enjoy!
