Keto Vanilla Mug Cake
Description
The recipe uses almond flour balanced with a smaller amount of coconut flour to achieve a cake-like crumb, lifted by baking powder. Melted butter, medium egg, granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract are mixed to form a smooth batter. This is poured into a buttered mug or ramekin to contain the rise.
Cooked in the microwave for 80 seconds at 900W, the cake firms to a tender structure that can be enjoyed directly from the mug or inverted onto a plate. Adjustments to microwave power and baking times accommodate different appliances, detailed in the notes.
This single-serving cake provides a way to enjoy a vanilla-flavored dessert with minimal carbs. The instructions specify equipment size to prevent overflow due to rising batter. The recipe yields about 5 grams net carbs per serving, making it suitable for low-carb or ketogenic diets.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon almond flour use only 1 ½ if super-fine
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp butter melted
- 1 egg medium, room temperature
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Stir together the dry ingredients in a bowl - almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sweetener. Take care to break up any lumps.
- In a second bowl, whisk the egg using a fork. Then add the melted and cooled butter plus the vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Grease a mug or ramekin with butter and fill in the batter. Microwave for 80 seconds @ 900W. (Baking times for different power levels are included in the notes below).
- Enjoy straight from the mug or invert onto a plate.
Notes
- Use a mug or ramekin with at least 200ml capacity to allow room for batter to rise without overflowing.
- Cooking time varies with microwave wattage: 600W = 100 seconds; 800W = 90 seconds; 900W = 80 seconds; 1000W = 70 seconds. Check doneness and add 10-second increments if undercooked.
- This recipe yields one serving containing approximately 5 grams net carbs.
