If you are anything like me, then sweet craving might hit you at any time of the day. When you have a sudden desire for dessert, you can’t spend hours baking a cake. That is the reason I love microwave easy mug cake a lot. From a simple chocolate cake to Apple Peanut butter mug cake, you can make any cake in one minute.

Now when it comes to a mug cake which is keto and low carb, things get little tricky. Because there is no flour or regular sugar, the texture of the cake depends on the ratio of the ingredients used.

What is Keto?

The keto diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. It forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Keto recipes are easy to find nowadays, but we love them best when the recipes are tested and turn out to be a hit!

How to Make Keto Mug Cake

Dry Ingredients:
I like to use a mixture of almond flour and coconut flour. I have used only Almond flour, but find it little dense in texture. With only coconut flour, the coconut flavors overpower the chocolate taste. A mix of flour gives moist crumbs with a fluffy texture.
For keto desserts, I prefer using Errythorl. These alcohol based sweeteners don’t have any bad aftertaste. But you can use other keto friendly sweeteners and adjust the quantity as per our tase.
Cinnamon in a chocolate cake might sound little odd, but I like to add just a pinch of it. Mostly mug cakes taste little eggy to me. So pinch cinnamon goes a long way. If you have any reservations, then you can skip it.

Wet Ingredients:
Butter and egg are the wet ingredients here. Make sure you melt the butter and cool it before using.

Use fresh coconut and almond flour.
Make sure the mug has an 8 to 10 ounces capacity. The cake rises considerably when microwaved if the mug is not big enough then it will overflow.
Keep the microwave at its highest power setting. For my microwave, the highest is 900 watts. Depending on the power setting cooking time might vary. If you are not sure about the settings, then start with 30 seconds, check and then microwave for 10-sec intervals. If the cake is overcooked, then it becomes dry. So you need to be careful of the cooking time.
