Notes
- Let the carrot cake mug cake cool a bit and enjoy as is or top it with cream cheese frosting.
- The protein powder you choose can and will change the flavor and texture of the carrot mug cake. I found the fluffiest, softest cake came from using a rice and coconut blend (more below). Any rice-based coconut powder should work.
- However, pea protein absorbs a crazy amount of liquid. If you use that, I think you’ll need to add a tablespoon more of milk.
- Grate the carrots super fine so that they actually mix in.
- Don’t skip smoothing out the top of the batter in the ramekin. It makes the carrot cake look better and it's easier to drizzle on the cream cheese frosting or whole30 whipped cream.
