Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon butter to grease the mugs
For the mug cake
- 1 ½ tablespoon coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tablespoon cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
- 1 egg medium
- 5 tablespoon heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips optional
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine your dry ingredients - coconut flour, baking powder, cacao powder, sweetener. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Add your wet ingredients - the egg, cream and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and let the batter rest for a minute.
- Melt ½ teaspoon butter each in 2 mugs or ramekins (30 seconds) and grease the insides. This is an important step if you want to turn your mug cakes out onto a plate. Divide the batter between the mugs/ramekins.
- Microwave both ramekins at the same time on high for 90 seconds. Don't microwave any longer or your cakes will become dry.
- Enjoy straight out of the ramekin or turn out onto a plate. See post and notes for an optional chocolate sauce!

Notes
- 4g net carbs per serve. Makes 2 mug cakes.
- My microwave operates at 900 watts and the mug cakes baked in 90 seconds. Here is an overview of recommended baking times:
- Check the cakes 10 seconds before they are finished. If necessary, add increments of 10 seconds.
- For an optional chocolate sauce, melt 2 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave or in a water bath. Stir until liquid. Add 2-3 tablespoon cream or milk and stir until smooth and pourable. Sauce is not included in the nutrition calculation.
- If you cannot get hold of sugar free chocolate chips, chop dark chocolate with a minimum of 85% cocoa solids.
- I used 6 oz ramekins.
- 600W = low power. 110 seconds
- 800W = 100 seconds
- 900W = 90 seconds
- 1000W = 80 seconds
- 1200W = 60 seconds
