Cake is a perfect addition to the weekend, isn’t it? Today we have a keto hazelnut cake with chocolate buttercream. It is sugar-free, clean, lowcarb and of course keto! But beware, this cake is also highly caloric and suitable for ketarians, because it devours a whole packet of butter, cream and nuts.
Use a 18cm springform pan for this recipe.
Serves: 8
Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough:
- 150g hazelnuts – crush yourself
- 50g almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 80g soft butter
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 30g erythritol
- 20g vanilla collagen with MCT
Ingredients for the butter cream:
- 100g butter
- 100ml cream
- 15g pudding powder chocolate to boil up
- 20g cacao mass chips
Ingredients for the glaze:
- 20g cocoa butter
- 30g cocoa mass chips
- 5 drops of nougat drops
- 10ml MCT oil
- 3 hours
Preparation
- Grind hazelnuts in a food processor to crush the hazelnuts

- Line baking tin with baking paper
- Bake the base for approx. 20-30 minutes at 175°C top-lower heat. After 20 minutes, check with a chopstick and bake for another 5 or even 10 minutes. Stay with the oven and regulate the temperature. It should not turn black.
- Let it cool down
- Cut off the top half
Continue with the butter cream.
Preparation:
- Mix the pudding powder well with the cold cream, it doesn’t dissolve well, so mix it
- Let it boil briefly for a short time. Meanwhile, keep stirring. It bakes easily or it burns
- Wait until it thickens, then lower the heat
- Add butter and cocoa mass chips and let it melt. Don’t boil any more
- Pour the mixture over the dough, let it cool and put it in the fridge
- After approx. 1-2 hours, cut the cake along the edge of the cake ring and remove the cake ring
- Now place the cover on top and frost
The topping is a MCT chocolate glaze
Preparation:
- Melt both chips together (au Bain Marie)
- Add the drops
- When the chocolate is melted, stir in the MCT oil first
- Pour the icing over the cake
- Eat immediately or put in the fridge
