Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or ramekin, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure no clumps remain.
Add the egg, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
If desired, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey touch.
Place the mug or ramekin in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds. The cake is done when the top is set and springs back lightly to the touch. Be careful not to overcook.
Let the cake cool for a minute before enjoying, as it will be very hot. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
