Keto Chocolate Cake Donuts
Didn’t think you could eat donuts on keto? Think again! These almond flour based donuts are SO light and fluffy, and the addition of a smooth chocolate glaze really puts them over the top. Even non-keto people were going crazy for these as soon as we finished shooting them.

- In a large bowl, whisk to combine almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, cream, eggs, and vanilla. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Fill each donut mold 3/4 of the way full with batter.
- Bake until donuts are golden in color and pulling away from sides of the pan, 15 minutes. Let cool completely in pan before removing.
- Meanwhile, make chocolate glaze: Sift powdered sugar and cocoa powder together into a large bowl. Add water and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
