Black Forest Waffle Cake Directions

STEP

1

Mix waffle batter

In a medium bowl, add eggs, cream cheese, almond flour, melted chocolate, sweetener and vanilla. Mix together using an electric mixer. NOTE: To melt chocolate, place in a microwave safe bowl and melt at 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between.
STEP

2

Make chocolate waffles

Pour a small amount of waffle batter into a small waffle maker and cook for 2-3 minutes or until waffle is set. Repeat with remaining cake batter making waffles in the waffle iron. Waffles will be spongy instead of crispy.
STEP

3

Make cherry whipped cream frosting

Add heavy cream to a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form. Add in powdered sweetener and cherry extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Whip in food coloring if using to make a light pink frosting.
STEP

4

Assemble the waffle cake

Assemble cake layers by adding layers of whipped cream frosting in between each waffle and around the cake. Serve with your favorite sugar free ice cream.

Keto Black Forest Cake Recipe

a frosted cake topped with crushed cherries and chocolate

This keto black forest waffle cake recipe is an easy, keto-friendly way to enjoy a classic dessert. The best part is if you do not consider yourself a baker or use a cake mix, waffle cakes take half the time to make compared to a regular cake. That is because all you have to do is cook the layers of waffles in a waffle maker, which only takes a few minutes! To make these chocolate chaffle cake layers, you will need cream cheese, egg, and keto flour. We are making almond flour waffles in this recipe. Since cherries are not considered keto-approved, we will be using a cherry whipped cream frosting to still get that delicious and iconic cherry flavoring for the keto black forest cake using a cherry flavor extract.

What Are Chaffles?

Chaffles are keto waffle that are made primarily with cheese, almond flour, and eggs. To turn these chaffles into sweet and rich layers that are perfect for a waffle cake, we add cream cheese, vanilla, sugar-free chocolate baking chips, and a sugar-free sweetener. Each of these chocolate chaffle layers will then be stacked on top of each other to make a delicious cake.

Make sure you do not overcook your waffles since you will want a perfect spongy cake texture for the keto black forest cake. If you end up overcooking the chaffles, the base of your cake will be dry rather than cake-like.

I like to make waffles for waffle cakes in a small waffle iron. But you could use a larger one if that is all you have.

Black Forest Cake

A black forest cake is a traditional German chocolate cake that is called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in German, meaning Black Forest Cherry Torte. This cake is traditionally made with four layers of a chocolate sponge cake, cherries, and whipped cream.

Although the common misconception is that the cake was named after where it was created, The Black Forest mountain ranges in south-western Germany, but it actually takes its name from alcohol made from Black Forest sour cherries. This cherry-flavored alcohol is known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch and is traditionally included in the cake.

Are Cherries Keto?

Cherries are generally not keto approved considering they are high in both sugar and carbs. In just 1 cup of cherries, there are 19g of total carbs and 16.5 net carbs. These numbers are even higher if you are using a canned cherry filling, which is loaded with sugar. In this recipe, we will be using a cherry flavor extract to get the same cherry flavor that a traditional black forest cake would have.
