Coconut Flour Mug Cake
Description
The Coconut Flour Mug Cake uses coconut flour, a powdered sweetener, and baking powder combined with coconut cream, a medium egg, and vanilla extract to create a smooth batter. The batter is placed in a 200 ml mug to allow room for rising. A swirl of sugar-free syrup and cinnamon is folded in to give the cake a cinnamon-flavored pattern throughout.
Microwaving at 900 watts for 90 to 100 seconds cooks the batter through. The cake rises noticeably during cooking, then deflates slightly upon cooling, yielding a moist and tender texture enhanced by the creaminess of coconut cream. This preparation offers a quick, single-serve option for coconut flour baking fans.
The recipe includes tips for adjusting cooking times depending on microwave wattage and notes the importance of mug size to avoid overflow. The low net carb count per serving makes it suitable for low-carb diets.
Turning the cooled cake out onto a plate is optional for presentation.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoon coconut cream

Notes
- Use a 200 ml volume mug to prevent batter overflow during microwaving.
- Microwave cooking times vary: 900W for 90-100 seconds, 1000W for 70-80 seconds, 1200W for 50-60 seconds.
- The cake will rise while cooking and collapse slightly as it cools.
