FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Using regular flour will change the recipe significantly, making it higher in carbs and not suitable for a keto diet.
2. Is there an alternative to sugar-free chocolate chips?
Yes, you can use dark chocolate chips that are at least 70% cocoa if you are not strict on sugar content, but this will increase the carb count.
3. Can I omit the coconut flakes?
Yes, the coconut flakes are optional. The cake will still be delicious without them!
