How to Make a Keto Mug Cake That Tastes Amazing

This Keto Mug Cake: 1-Minute Amazing Low-Carb Treat You’ll Love is a soft, rich, sugar-free dessert made in one minute. With almond flour, cocoa, and erythritol, it’s a quick indulgence that fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle. Inspired by Chef Rita’s Oregon kitchen, it’s comfort and joy in a single mug.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 mug cake

Ingredients

Scale

6 tbsp almond flour (or 1/3 cup ground almonds)

1 tbsp + 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tbsp erythritol (or sweetener of choice)

Pinch stevia (optional)

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

3 tbsp almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. If using almonds, blend into fine flour for texture.

2. Add almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, stevia, baking powder, and salt into a mug.

3. Stir in almond milk and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.

4. Fold in chocolate chips if desired for gooey richness.

5. Microwave for 30 seconds, then continue in 15-second bursts until cake sets but remains soft.

6. Top with whipped cream, nut butter, or fresh berries, then serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For a nut-free version, use 2 tbsp coconut flour instead of almond flour.

To bake instead of microwaving, cook at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes.

Add 1 tsp espresso powder for a mocha twist.
