Keto Chocolate Mug Cake (ZERO Net Carbs!)
Description
The mug cake combines melted butter and coconut oil as fat sources, blending in unsweetened cocoa powder and almond flour to provide the cake’s structure and chocolate taste. Erythritol sweetens without adding net carbs, and a whole egg binds and tenderizes the batter. Mixing ingredients directly in a microwave-safe mug simplifies preparation.
Microwaving the batter for 90 seconds cooks the cake quickly, resulting in a moist texture with a mildly grainy crumb characteristic of almond flour. The fat content from butter and coconut oil keeps the cake rich, while the cocoa adds depth of flavor. Cooling briefly before eating allows the cake to set slightly.
This recipe delivers a single-serve chocolate cake that fits ketogenic dietary needs, useful for a low-carb sweet craving without requiring baking or complex steps. The simplicity of the method requires only common keto-friendly ingredients and a microwave.
