Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute (like erythritol or stevia)
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar substitute, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the mug. Use a fork or a small whisk to mix everything until smooth and well-combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom and edges of the mug to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Microwave the mug on high for 60–90 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 60 seconds and check the cake. If it still looks wet or undercooked in the center, microwave for an additional 10–15 seconds until done.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the mug cake cool for 1–2 minutes before enjoying.
Optional: Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for extra indulgence.
