Keto Chocolate Mug Cake
Keto Chocolate Mug Cake
"Next time you feel those chocolate cravings strike, consider making this quick, easy, and affordable (but fancy) chocolate mug cakes. Made with ingredients you likely already have at home; this recipe makes for a decadent dessert you can whip up in just a few minutes. And because this cake is low-carb and sugar-free, you can enjoy it without the guilt. Mug cakes are pretty forgiving when it comes to toppings and fillings – there is a whole range of ingredients that behave well with mug cakes like these."
NotesMake sure you’re using almond flour instead of almond meal for these cakes since the latter results in a dense cake that won’t rise. The coconut flour is also essential as it helps absorb excess moisture. If you’d like to make this just for yourself, then half all the ingredients. Alternatively, you could eat the two servings yourself, but that’s up to you and your daily calorie limit.
