The Ingredients

The beauty of this keto chocolate mug cake is that it’s made with simple, pantry-staple ingredients you probably already have on hand. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Almond flour: Keeps the cake low-carb while providing a moist texture.
• Cocoa powder: For that rich chocolate flavor we all crave.
• Baking powder: Gives the cake a little lift, so it’s light and fluffy.
• Egg: Helps bind everything together and adds moisture.
• Butter or coconut oil: Adds richness and keeps the cake moist.
• Sweetener: Use your favorite keto-friendly sweetener to keep it sugar-free.
• Vanilla extract: A little splash for extra flavor.

The Method

Making this keto chocolate mug cake couldn’t be easier. Simply mix all the ingredients in a microwave-safe mug or ramekin until smooth. Pop it in the microwave for about a minute, and voila! You’ve got a perfectly portioned, single-serving cake that’s ready to enjoy.

Customizing Your Mug Cake

One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. Want to lower the carbs even more? You can swap the almond flour for coconut flour, just remember to adjust the amount since coconut flour is more absorbent. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a few sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter before cooking. Or, top your cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an extra treat.
