Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (28g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (10g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28g), melted (or melted coconut oil as substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk (30ml)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar-free chocolate chips
  • Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon or espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Measure out the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, erythritol sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In your microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sweetener, and salt. Stir thoroughly with a fork to break up any lumps.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Crack in one large egg, pour in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream or almond milk. Stir until smooth with no big lumps.
  4. Optional: Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or cinnamon if using.
  5. Microwave cooking: Cook on high power for 90 to 120 seconds. Start checking at 90 seconds. The cake should rise and spring back lightly when touched. If still wet, microwave in additional 10-second bursts.
  6. Cooling & serving: Let the cake cool for 1-2 minutes before eating. Serve warm directly from the mug or tip onto a plate.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Measure almond flour precisely to avoid dryness. Do not overcook to prevent rubbery texture. Fresh baking powder is essential for fluffiness. Adjust microwave time based on wattage. Mug should be no more than half full to prevent overflow. Optional add-ins like sugar-free chocolate chips or cinnamon can enhance flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with almond or coconut milk.
