Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
Crack the egg into the mug and blend it thoroughly with the dry ingredients using a fork or small whisk.
Add the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.
If desired, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave's power; start checking at 60 seconds as the cake should be firm but still slightly moist on top.
Let the mug cake cool for a minute before enjoying. Serve the mug cake directly from the mug, or if preferred, gently remove and serve on a plate.
