During the pandemic, I am taking taste-bud journeys as I self-isolate rather than physical journeys. Here is my adapted recipe for a Chocolate Bundt Cake baked in a DASH Bundt Cake Maker.
If you use the correct sugar, this recipe could actual be a Keto recipe. The recipe originated from Kristina Wilds. I don't recall if I made any creative changes to the recipe. This is actually a cake that came from Kristina Wilds' Shepherd's Diet collection. That was a diet I experimented with back in the fall of 2017. I held on to the recipes I enjoyed the most during that time period. [FYI: In my opinion, this recipe is one of the few recipes that has almost just as nice of a texture made in the microwave as when it is baked using a DASH Bundt Maker. Aesthetically-speaking, I much prefer its appearance and final taste baked instead of microwaved.]
Conclusion: Discerning taste buds will definitely be able to detect that almond and coconut flour were used instead of regular flour; however, the cake is quite delicious and moist. It is actually sweet enough on its own to not require icing. But since I had quite a bit of caramel sauce left that I had made the previous day, I decided to ice it with that. YUM!
[FYI- I suppose, with the right kind of sugar used, the caramel sauce could probably be used on the Keto Diet, as well. But don't take my word for it. I am definitely not an expert on that diet by any stretch of the imagination. LOL!]
Keto Cake Recipe by Kristina Wilds from the Shepherds Diet - Makes 4 servings
- 1 large Egg (or 1/4 cup Egg Beaters)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp Erythritol Sugar [FYI - I used regular sugar as I no longer had the keto-sugar on hand.]
- 2 tsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- Top with caramel sauce [FYI - That is an optional, non-keto, addition.]
Procedure
- Step 1: Melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk butter into all other ingredients in a large measuring cup or a greased mug.
- Step 2: If you are making a mug cake, microwave for 90 seconds or until a toothpick comes out clean. If you are baking it in a DASH Bundt Cake Maker, bake for 8 minutes.
- Step 3: If desired, top with Caramel Sauce. I will link the easy recipe I used to make this sauce below. It takes less than 3 minutes to make and is a super yummy addition.

Cake recipe source came from the following diet plan. I do not have the exact link. I am listing the website for this plan, in case you're curious. [FYI - It worked while I was on it for four months in fall of 2017, but I gained back the 40 pounds I lost, plus friends, since I went off of it. LOL! Personally, I enjoy my less-restrictive current diet rather than being limited to a maximum of 20 carbs a day. Now, I am just a foodie living my lifestyle change that no longer views carbs as my 'enemy.']
