Low Carb and Keto Chocolate mug cake

Mug cakes are a perfect way to satisfy your craving without making a whole cake. I don’t know about you, but I am tempted to eat the whole cake when I make a whole cake, anyway! So yeah, making a mug cake helps me a lot! Not to mention it takes half of the time to make a mug cake verses a whole cake and more than likely you will have every single ingredient in your pantry and fridge already, especially if you are on a low carb and keto journey already. Check out some of my favorite low-carb items I keep in my pantry and fridge on the daily.

Mug Cake Tips

  1. Try out different containers. It is not a secret that I love my Disney mugs. You can check them out on my IG daily. But, I have certain mugs that I use for my mug cakes. Some cook better than others, so start experimenting. 
  2. Don’t over fill the mug. Mug cakes do rise a bit, so make sure you do not overfill. 
  3. Microwaving for too little is better than too much. Start at a lower time and keep adding 10 seconds at a time if you need to. 
  4. Add a topping. I love adding sugar-free whipped cream, sugar- chocolate syrup or keto ice cream when I can. It is so yummy and will not disappoint! Get creative!

Directions:

I always need water to make it a bit more of a wet mixture. Separate into a mug. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until cake is set but still fudgy. 
  2. Take the remaining mixture and store in the fridge for your next craving.
  3. Top with whipped cream to serve.
