For the Cake:
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional, for a chocolate flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or another milk of choice)
Optional Toppings:
- Whipped cream (sugar-free)
- A few sugar-free chocolate chips or berries (optional)
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and sweetener. Mix well to remove any lumps.
- Add the egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Microwave the Mug Cake:
- Microwave the mug on high for 60-90 seconds. The cake should rise and set, but still be slightly moist in the center. If it’s not fully cooked, microwave it for an additional 10-20 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on the power of your microwave.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the mug cake to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as whipped cream or a few chocolate chips.
Notes
- Texture Tip: If you’d like a fluffier texture, use a little less almond milk or add an extra pinch of baking powder.
- Flavor Variations: For a richer flavor, try adding 1 tablespoon of peanut butter or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter.
- Sweetener Adjustments: If you prefer your cake sweeter, feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preferences.
