Dreamy Keto Cream Cheese Chocolate Pound Cake
A Keto cream cheese chocolate pound cake recipe, that’s everything you loved about my original keto cream cheese pound cake, except that it features chocolate as the star.
That keto cream cheese pound cake was birthed soon after Randy and I made the ketogenic diet a lifestyle choice. It was made to replace our family’s go-to cake.
