A fast, easy, and delicious keto-friendly chocolate mug cake ready in under 2 minutes, perfect for satisfying sudden chocolate cravings without breaking your low-carb goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp almond flour
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (or ghee/coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp instant coffee granules (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, instant coffee (if using), and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the powders.
  2. Add the egg, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and thick but pourable. Add a splash more cream (about 1 tsp) if batter feels too dry.
  3. Ensure the mug is microwave-safe and about 12 oz capacity to prevent overflow. Lightly grease if desired.
  4. Microwave on high for 90 to 120 seconds. Start with 90 seconds and add more time if needed. The cake should rise and be set on top but moist inside.
  5. Check doneness with a toothpick or fork; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. Microwave in 10-second increments if more time is needed.
  6. Let the mug cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. Optionally top with sugar-free whipped cream or fresh berries.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense texture. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Adjust microwave time based on your appliance to prevent rubbery cake. Optional add-ins include peanut butter swirl, berries, or spices like cinnamon. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and butter with coconut cream and coconut oil.
