Low-carb, Gluten-free Chocolate Cake with Real Strawberry Whipped Cream

I can’t stop with dessert recipes! I hope you don’t mind it?! 🙂 It is summer and I always see fresh smiley fruits, so I have to create delicious treats that we can eat without remorse and guilt. 

Whoever has insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes or gluten allergy, they don’t have to mind with remorse or guilt. Everybody can eat this cake because my desserts are made in a little different way. I substitute the sugar with sweetener, and change flour to gluten-free ingredients like almond and walnut flours. In return the low-carb desserts will be much tastier because we don’t feel the same dominant taste of sugar everywhere, which is suppressing all real fruit flavors. That’s why we don’t even need to use flavor enhancers or artificial flavors in keto desserts because we can finally feel the true taste of the fruit in keto desserts made with real fruit. Although, the gluten-free sponge cake will be a little heavier, but also much tastier than sponge cake from white flour and it also has much less carbs in it.
