Keto Texas Sheet Cake With Chocolate Avocado Frosting
Texas sheet cake recipe and content provided by Bare Nutrition
If you’ve never had Texas Sheet Cake, you’re in for a treat. This traditional Southern dessert isn’t dense like a typical chocolate cake, but rather has a light and fluffy texture, and a dark, rich flavor, making it every chocolate-lover’s dream. The best part is, this keto version is just as big and chocolatey, but also low-carb, low-sugar, and filled with high-quality fats.
Texas sheet cakes are similar to German chocolate cake. This one, however, swaps out the sugary, coconut-pecan frosting for a decadent chocolate avocado one.
This easy, delicious keto cake recipe let’s you satisfy your cravings — and celebrate birthdays — without falling off your low-carb eating plan.

- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour

Chocolate Avocado Frosting
- 1/2 large avocado (about 3 tablespoons)

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, cold brew, cacao powder, and cinnamon.

- In the small mixing bowl, whisk together the “buttermilk” (almond milk + apple cider vinegar), eggs, and vanilla extract, then add to the mixture in the large mixing bowl.
- Mix everything until completely combined. You may use an electric mixer, but this works just as well mixing by hand.
