Low Carb Earthquake Cake

This crazy mixed up low carb cake is truly delicious stuff! Keto chocolate cake swirled together with sugar-free cheesecake, pecans, and coconut for a healthy take on the famous earthquake cake.

Low Carb Keto Earthquake Cake

I know what’s going to happen here. Call me clairvoyant or something but I know that the minute I publish this recipe, I am going to be inundated with questions. Because I myself have the very same question that I bet about 50% of you are going to ask: why is this delicious low carb chocolate and cream cheese cake called “Earthquake Cake”???

So I am heading you all off at the pass right now and letting you know that I have no earthly idea why it is so named, but I have some pretty good guesses. And I bet you do too, upon closer inspection.

How To Make Keto Earthquake Cake

 

The crazy delicious mixed up layers of a low carb grain-free Earthquake Cake

I am going to go all former archaeologist on you and point out that soil and rock and all the good stuff is always in nice neat little layers. This is Geology 101, friends, so hark on back to your freshman year and remind yourself how the top layer of soil always sits neatly on top of clay or sandstone or granite layers.

And under that there are other layers. Layers upon layers, all the way down to the molten core of the Earth. When you head off to amazing natural sites like the Grand Canyon, you actually get to see those perfect layers in cross-section, the mighty Colorado River having cut it prettily for your viewing pleasure. And, as a former archaeologist/physical anthropologist, I have spent many a day excavating down into those layers, making detailed notes on the strata and which artifacts are found in which layers.

Chocolate cake and cream cheese mixed together in Earthquake Cake

But then an earthquake happens and all those neat layers get churned up and messed up, and some bits that used to be on top are now on the bottom. And some of the bottom layers come all the way to the top. So that when you cut down into it, you see a bit of one layer here and a bit of another layer there and it’s much more difficult to make sense of.

Which is also exactly what happens with this crazy mixed up low carb cake…you pour everything into neat little layers and then you churn it all up so that it makes no sense. Some of the bottom layers of coconut and pecans comes to the top and some of the top layer of cream cheese sinks down to the middle or even the bottom.

Easy and delicious, this low carb keto Earthquake Cake is a must-make!

 

So what you have, in the end, is a gorgeously imperfect low carb cake with chocolate, coconut, pecans, cream cheese, and chocolate chips, all mixed and muddled together. This keto cake makeover was at the request of a few readers who brought the conventional earthquake cake idea before me on separate occasions. Of course, the conventional version is made with boxed cake mix (ACK!) and we don’t go there. It’s really so easy to whip up a quick low carb chocolate cake batter, I see no need for any sort of boxed mix. Scratch baking at its finest!

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F and grease a 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle the bottom with the shredded coconut and the pecans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the eggs, 6 tbsp melted butter, coffee or water, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour over the coconut and pecans.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the remaining 8 tbsp melted butter until smooth. Beat in the powdered sweetener. Dollop this mixture over the cake mixture by the spoonful. Use a knife to swirl into the cake mixture, scraping all the way to the bottom in some places to mix up the coconut and pecans.
  4. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Bake for about 45 minutes, until cake is mostly set through (will still be slightly soft and liquidy in the  middle). Remove and let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

    • I tried substituting Erythritol and powdered Swerve in a coconut cake recipe and while everyone else loved it, I couldn’t eat it because it made my mouth burn. It’s expensive, but I’ve had great success using Monkfruit sweetener in recipes so I’m going to try this recipe using that.

      Reply

  3. Wow, this looks amazing! I’m pretty sure it will be a hit with everyone in the family. Plus, I love that it makes a full 9×13, rather than a smaller batch, without any crazy wild ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing!!

    Reply

  5. Does anyone else have a problem with the Swerve powdered sugar? It leaves such a weird after-taste that everything tastes sickenly sweet after I’ve eaten something with it in it. I can’t use it any more.

    Reply

    • I don’t use Swerve for the same reason, plus it’s expensive. I used half of what she called for in the dolloping part, and split that erythritol and Splenda. I tried it off the spatula and it was plenty sweet!

      Reply

    • Yes! I am always shocked people use it so often in low carb recipes. It gives me a yucky aftertaste and I’m not usually sensitive to that sort of thing. I now use a great combo of stevia/erythritol I found on netrition.com. It’s cheaper and no aftertaste. I just use my vitamin to blend if a recipe calls for powdered sugar.

      Reply

      • Please remember that every palate is different. I use Swerve because it’s the only low carb sweetener that does NOT give me an aftertaste.

        Reply

        • Same here, Swerve is all I use. But I always add a squirt of liquid stevia to anything I use Swerve in… it seems to balance out the sweetness perfectly!

          Reply


          • I learned to do this when I use Swerve also. Makes a world of difference in eliminating the cooling effect of Swerve.

      • I have found that Truvia works best for me. I have not found a powdered sweetener version of it though so frostings and stuff are harder to manage.

        Reply

        • You can put trivia in a small food processor or coffee grinder to get a powdered version of trivia. For baking I prefer the trivia baking blends. The small amount of sugar in the blends means they bake and taste more like usual sugar laden baked goods. A definite plus imho. No aftertaste!

          Reply

    • Like you, we did not care for the aftertaste with Swerve. It’s really too bad, because the initial taste is good.
      Now we use an erythritol/stevia granulated blend or Sukrin. If we need it to be a little sweeter, we add some liquid stevia. Omica Orange Blossom is the best stevia we have found. We order it from Amazon.

      Reply

      • This happens to many people who eliminate sugar and cut down on the carbs in their diet. I tend to use half of the amount or even 1/3 rd the amount of sweetener called for in most recipes. I also like to use just plain erythritol sometimes because it has only 70% of the sweetness of sugar. This way I can reduce the sweetness without taking some of the bulk of the ingredients away.

  6. I used egg white powder, looks good, smells awesome….to hot to taste. I am loving the 9×13 size too. The ladies at quilt bee will be thrilled.

    Reply

  7. This was perfect to come out on Father’s Day! I made it while my husband is working and it’s cooling on the counter for a perfect evening surprise. It smells amazing. I put cacao bits on half and only used half the sweetener for the cream cheese dollops. Still tasted delicious! Thank you for an easy, chocolatey recipe!

    Reply

  8. Those of you complaining it’s too sweet, try cutting the amount of sweeteners down…I always use less Sweetener than called for, usually 2/3 to 1/2. I put in half, taste, and add more if needed. Since I started keto two years ago, I just don’t like things as sweet. That’s probably the issue with many of you. I can’t wait to try this. It pushes all my buttons!

    Reply

    • You are so right Margaret! Everything seems sickening sweet to us anymore. So I always cut back the sweetener until I can taste it. I’d rather it was not sweet enough(in which case I just serve it with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream) than too sweet to start (in which case no one wants to eat it).

      Reply

    • I find letting baked goods sit a few days before eating really mellows the sweet overpowering taste. I started using xylitol for my sweetner and just love it. (We have no pets). Good luck.

      Reply

      • I use xylitol also and find that it is the only one without an aftertaste and does have as much of the cooling effect. I have tried every sugar replacement on the market and nothing compares to xylitol
        Erythritol came close but it had too much of that cooling effect even in recipes. All the others had an aftertaste.

  9. Any ideas for subbing the shredded coconut –Hubby does like coconut. I made your brownie cheesecake for Mothers Day and Fathers day the kids and grandkids really like it and could not believe it was sugar free and that Grandpa could eat it without raising his Blood Sugars . He was diagnosed with diabetes this past February and your meals and desserts have really helped us cope with the diet changes– Blood Sugar is down in normal ranges with just the change in diet, walking, losing weight and no med!! So Thanks for your recipes.

  12. Carolyn, I can’t figure out what I did wrong, and it’s driving me nuts! My cake looks nothing like yours. The cream cheese layer did not sink and mix together, my cake batter was very think and appears to be darker than yours. Also the cake is a little dry. I’m sure it’s my error, just don’t know what I did–maybe mismeasured the cocoa powder?

    Reply

    • Without being in your kitchen with you, I honestly can’t say. But what cocoa powder did you use? If it was one of the super dark ones, maybe that’s an issue. Something went wrong, for sure because the cake batter should be quite liquid. Not quite pourable but definitely spreadable.

      Reply

      • My batter was not liquid at all either, I think it could be the almond flour. My cream cheese dollops were fairly thick also. Not sure if that was supposed to be the case, but not sure how I could have messed that up if they weren’t supposed to be. lol We haven’t had a chance to taste it yet but I am positive it is going to taste delicious anyway! I will probably try it again and try using a little less almond flour. It may be possible that it is the brand I used which is different from yours (I used Trader Joe’s Super Fine Ground).

        Reply

        • I guess it’s the almond flour, then. It’s interesting, you are not the only one who’s had this problem. Low carb batters do tend to be thicker than regular, though!

          Reply

  16. I just made these and they turned out awesome! I couldn’t find unsweetened coconut flakes at my local grocery store nor sugar-free chocolate chips, so I used just sweetened coconut flakes (in addition to all the other ingredients) and it was still the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Reply

  17. I use less Swerve as recommended sometimes about 1/3 of the amount. No aftertaste or issues. I did the same thing when I used sugar -as it was too sweet also for me. I follow the same guidelines as when I baked with sugar. We found that our sweet tooth is not that sweet, if we eat cake with sugar- maybe a bite is all we can handle. That is a good thing! My husband is a diabetic and try to not use sugar or wheat products for hour health. Your recipes make our life with food more enjoyable.

  21. I baked this cake ahead of time for tomorrow. Smells wonderful. Can’t wait to try it. What’s the best way to store it? In or out of the refrigerator?

    Reply

  22. The protein powder I have on hand is vanilla flavored. Will this make a big difference in the outcome of the cake?

    Reply

  23. Yet another indication that low carb is NOT hard with amazing sweets like this! Thank you so much for all your hard work…and sharing with us! I bought some espresso powder from my favorite spice store (myspicesage.com…and I don’t work for or get referral credits, I just LOVE it!). If I use that..use a tiny amount in…water to make up for the liquid? I’m a bit squicky about using too much, I don’t care for uber-strong coffee and don’t want it to take over…but I’d still like to use it,makes me all chefy n stuff :). Thanks so much, this is the first time in my life I’ve stuck with a new WOE, and its been a breeze because of stunning recipes like yours!

    • Ugh, how I missed the “coffee or water” instructions…silly me, nevermind 🙂 I did email you with a small novel asking a simple question, smh. No rush, just another stupid human trick I tried dealing with on WordPress. Thanks!

      Reply

    • You can use just water in the same amount with a little of the espresso powder and I don’t think you will need extra liquid.

      Reply

  24. I usually make 1/2 recipes as there is just two of us. When there are three eggs do I need to divide an egg or would two eggs make a big difference. I run into this pretty often. I could also use one egg and one white or yolk.. Saving half an egg it usually does not get used.

    Reply

    • This is what I usually do: 1 egg plus one egg white and then just hold back on 1 tbsp water, unless the batter is very thick.

      Reply

    • what size pan would you recommend if i wanted to halve the recipe for 2 people?? Thanks I love all your recipes!

      Reply

  25. Carolyn I just want to check and see if you have any idea of how much THM baking blend I would use in place of the almond flour If I do is there any other adjustments you could recommend. I know you have baked a bit with-it in the past so I thought I would ask because I just made with almond flour and loved it. I just have so much baking blend on hand I’d like to use it .

    Reply

    • I would use the same amount but then I would add an extra egg and a little extra butter. Because baking blend is MUCH drier than almond flour alone.

      Reply

      • This question is not particularly tied to this recipe but why do you not use more THM baking blends (flour or sugar) in your recipes? I love her erythritol, xylitol, Stevia sugar blend. It has no cooling or aftertaste with it. Always been curious. 🙂

        Reply

        • Because I don’t follow THM, only low carb. And I find they DO have an aftertaste and for me, Swerve does not. Every palate is different. I also don’t use xylitol because it does raise blood sugar quite a bit compared to erythritol.

          Reply

  26. My mom and I made a carby version of this cake in California. Our understanding was that it was called Earthquake Cake because baking it caused cream cheese faults on the surface of the cake — at least with the high carb version.

  27. Just following up to say, I warmed individual slices up in the micro and put them on top of a dollop of whipped cream.
    So, so, so tasty.

    Reply

  28. Carolyn I’m a little confused on the divided Swerve amounts. Is the first 1/2 cup for the cake and the second full cup for the cream cheese dollop? TIA…

    Reply

  30. I love your recipes and am looking forward to making some show stopping desserts for the 4th… Can you please explain the carbs listed in the nutrition info… is that for the whole pan? I am sorry, but I simply don’t understand, thank you

    Reply

    • The total servings are 20, which it states at the top of the recipe. The nutritional counts are always per serving so it’s 7.54g total carbs per serving with 3.4g fiber. Which means it’s 4.44g NET CARBS per serving.

  31. I personally love Swerve. I also just wanted to say thank you. No complaints just a thank you for still having amazing desserts on this wol. I appreciate your time and dedication.

    Reply

  32. I made this cake yesterday and it’s terribly dry, almost crumbly. I think I need a scoop of ice cream to moisten it up. I would like to try this again but hate to waste ingredients. Followed recipe exact, but did cut back on the swerve sweetener. Help!

    Reply

    • I really don’t know. A few other people said the same but most people say it’s perfect. Could be your oven or perhaps your almond flour or cocoa powder.

      Reply

  33. Wow, just made this and it’s amazingly delicious. This is the first keto chocolate cake that I’ve made that really turned out well. We love it! Moist, flavorful, lots of nice texture and contrast. SO good. Thank you!

  35. Could you use chocolate whey protein powder? I was thinking then cut back a little on the sweetener and cocoa….

    Reply

  36. I made this recently and unfortunately, overbaked it! I cooked it in a glass baking dish for about 39 minutes, which was too long. Obviously, it was too dry, although the taste was tantalizing and I will try again. Another issue I encountered was that it was actually too sweet for me; very rare with your recipes. …And after being in the fridge, the Swerve really crystallized in the remaining cake. Good news, my significant other LOVED it, adores the sweetness, doesn’t mind the crystals, and finds it absolutely fabulous with the whipped cream I made to compensate for the dryness. So overall, a win! Next time: less (and mixed) sweeteners and less baking time. I can tell that when I get it right it is going to be amazing!

    Reply

  37. Holy moly, this was awesome. Definitely a keeper. I had the Trader Joe’s vanilla whey, did not decrease sweetener or omitted vanilla, and it was awesome. My only suggestion to others is: more nuts. I did 3/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup nuts and it still wasn’t enough IMO. There is enough cake and cheesecake filling to justify quite a bit more nuts. You could do chopped walnuts or mixture of both. This was heavenly and everyone in my extended family on the SAD diet could not believe it was healthy/low carb.

    Reply

  38. This is SO GOOD! It has a definite German Chocolate Cake flavor. It is also quick & easy, and “carbers” love it too!
    Those who commented that it is dry, when baking with almond flour, you have to get acclimated to the “done” consistency. Better to underbake than overbake. If it was too dry, then try again & bake less. My finished product was moist & divine!

    Reply

  39. I am baking this right now. It takes amazing off the spoon, so I can’t wait until its ready. I used a Stevia/Erythritol blend called native (in Australia) and only used half the amount mentioned.

    Carolyn, I have only stumbled across your page and have already favourited it. You have so many Keto recipes that look absolutely amazing. I am new to this lifestyle, but am already seeing the benefits.

  41. This was so good however it was dry because I got distracted and baked it too long. No problem just served with vanilla ice cream. I will make it again and make sure I don’t overbake. Since there are only two of us I froze half the cake.

    Last night I made a trifle out of the frozen cake. I layered vanilla sf pudding, whipped cream, strawberries, and raspberry liquor with the cake. Everyone loved it.

    Thanks for another great recipe.

  45. Um…this. was. awesome. First recipe of yours that I have tried, and thank you. It’s awesome. I used half the sugar and I used heavy whipping cream in place of the coffee/water, and it’s pretty much heavenly. I think that those who left comments that theirs turned out too dry is because they cooked it too long. My batter was also very thick but my cake was very moist and lovely, but I only baked for 35 minutes. Oven temps do vary. 🙂

  50. Hi, I’m new to making low carb desserts and I never had to use whey protein powder or any protein powder. I read someone’s comment asking if the whey powder can be susbstituted by something else and you said egg white protein powder. My question is, do I have to use any protein powder at all?

    Reply

    • Yes, you do. Gluten is a protein and in its absence, another dry protein helps baked goods rise and hold their shape.

      Reply

  51. I made this this week and did half without the coconut and pecans on the bottom because I have a daughter who doesn’t like them. I refrigerated the leftovers, and I just have to say, I feel like the longer it sits in the refrigerator, the better it gets! I actually wasn’t sure I was going to like this cake when it was still warm (after letting it cool). But when I ate it the next day straight from the refrigerator – without heating it up – I wanted to eat the whole thing! I’m having to make myself just cut one square each day! I think I will freeze the remaining cake, cut into squares, so I won’t overeat! 😉

    Reply

  52. I made this last night and this may be my new favorite dessert. I followed other’s advice and reduced the 10x sweetener to my liking. While it’s not as pretty as yours, it tastes amazing. I love the layers and the combo of ingredients. It came together rather easily. Mine took less time to bake, and next time I may bake it even less. Your recipes never disappoint, thank you for giving us a wonderful keto dessert!

  53. Is it possible to use powdered goat milk in place of the whey protein powder? I know that’s an odd substitution, but it’s the closest thing I’ve got and your cake looks just too delicious! I need to make it now! Lol

    Reply

      • I have just one thing to say… OH. EM. GEE!!! I just totally burned my tongue on this! Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe this cake/heaven in a muffin pan. I used my powdered goat milk and pyure sweetener( in half increments), and I omitted the pecans and coconut since I’m not a huge fan of either. I will try them next time tho☺ the cupcakes came out moist and perfect! I cooked them about 25 minutes.

        This is the first recipe of yours I have tried, but it will not be the last! Thank you so much!

  54. Excellent cake!! I made it with the coffee, added one extra egg since mine were medium, vanilla whey protein powder but didn’t omit vanilla. It is soooo tasty! It did not turn out like the photo, all the cream cheese part sunk in so it is a bit lumpy bumpy but still delish! thanks Carolyn!

  55. Hello there! Is it possible to use a combination of collagen peptides/grass fed beef gelatin in lieu of the whey protein? TIA!

    • Nope. Makes it way too gummy. I’ve tried that before. You can leave out the whey if you need to but it does help the cake rise.

    • 1/20th of the cake is the serving size. That’s as accurate as it gets…you have to eyeball it in your pan and cut into 20 squares.

  61. Hi Carolyn,
    I love your recipes and want to try this one but can’t afford the whey powder. Can I ask what it is for? Or why you use it? Is there something else I can use instead?

    Reply

  62. Carolyn,
    I finally got through all of the comments and noticed that you answered the question about using the whey powder!

    Reply

  63. The reason the cake was originally called Earthquake Cake was because (in the original recipe) the cream cheese wasn’t mixed all through the cake. When you opened the oven you were greeted with a dark chocolate cake with huge cream cheese craters in the middle. Very rustic and beautiful. My aunt Marie made these when I was young and it was always a bit!!

    Reply

  69. I just made this earthquake cake, I have only been doing keto for two weeks, and figured I would try it. I did all of the ingredients in your recipe, except I did use Isopure chocolate flavor for the protein powder. It is good, but the chocolate cake part is alil dry. Has anyone tried it with Coconut flour instead of almond? Thank you for sharing and it was worth a try. It is good. just need to tweek it abit for my tastes. Thank you again. Jessie

    Reply

    • It would be far more dry with coconut flour. What kind of pan did you use? If metal, that might be part of the problem.

      Reply

  70. Ooh, this sounds devine! I read through all the comments and you said it would be ok to substitute egg white powder for the protein powder. My question is are the ratios the same? I so want to make this for a Superbowl party. Once again, thank you for sharing your recipes. Makes being on keto so much easier!!!

    Reply

    • Yes, they should be the same. If you have one, bake it in a ceramic baking pan. People find it a bit dry when they use a metal pan.

      Reply

  71. Is there anything in the world that can be substituted for the protein powder? Both whey and egg white protein powders are so expensive and I would never (or rarely) use them in recipes other than something like this. Fixed incomes suck and I can’t justify spending that kind of money — sorry but that’s the truth of the matter. I would dearly love to try this recipe and I know my diabetic husband would love, love, love to try the cake but I need to come up with something other than the protein powder. Thanks for your help!

    Reply

    • So, the best thing for me to do is tell you WHY I use protein powder. Gluten is a protein and in its absence, another (dry) protein helps baked goods rise and hold their shape. That said, it’s going to be delicious without it, if you don’t mind it being a little more fragile. So skip it but just be aware.

      Reply


  73. This is amazing! I left out the protein powder and added one egg to the cream cheese mixture. I baked it for 35 minutes instead of 45 and it turned out very moist and delicious. Definitely a keeper!

    Reply

    • Thank you soooo much for posting your comment! I don’t have whey protein powder & I am not going to spend over $28 to get some when I’ve never needed it before. I like being able to make special stuff like this on occasion, but can’t go broke to do so.

  77. WOWSA… made this for Easter since had a crowd here and topped with your chocolate whipped topping dollop on each serving and people raved. We had some left over and ate it for over a week as kept in coldest refrigerator.
    Keep up the INSPIRATIONAL GENIUS Desserts. My hubby and son have the sweet tooths and me reaching for your dessert book or printing out one to show them makes them drool.
    Now if I can only find a store that has the brains to stock Swerve at a discount…like COSTCO!
