Keto Vanilla Mug Cake
This keto-friendly vanilla mug cake is easy to make and comes out fluffy and moist. It is just 4 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (28 g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1 tbsp (12 g) Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener, or Erythritol Granular
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) vanilla
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a large microwave-safe mug. Mix with a small whisk until the batter is uniform and the egg is completely beaten and incorporated into the batter.
- Cook the cake in the microwave at full power for about 1 minute. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave wattage. My microwave is 1100 watts.
- Let cake cool a few minutes before consuming. You can plate the cake in a smaller plate or mug before eating. You can also top cake with your favorite frosting or whipped cream.
Notes
- The cake will only fill about 1/3 to 1/2 of a large mug when it is done. However, you do want to use a large mug to cook it because it rises high while it is cooking before it settles back down.
- So you can see the cake more clearly in the photos, I made double the recipe and plated the cake in a smaller mug for the pictures.
- Make sure the egg is thoroughly beaten otherwise your cake will not turn out right.
- If you do not want to use a microwave, you can try baking the cake in the oven at 350F for about 15-20 minutes.
- This cake is lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter desserts, you can add 1 tsp extra sugar substitute to the batter. Or you can top the cake with a sweet frosting.
- I use either Lakanto Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener * or Erythritol Granular when making this cake.
