DURATION:

Prep Time: 3 Minutes | Cook Time: 2 Minutes | Total Time: 5 Minutes | Yields: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tbsp (0.5oz/16g) almond flour
• 2 tbsp (0.5oz/16g) coconut flour
• 2 tbsp (1oz/28g) granulated erythritol
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp (15ml) unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter or coconut oil
• 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
• 1 drop lemon flavoring (optional)
• ½ tsp (gluten-free) baking powder

Optional: Lemon Icing

• 2 tbsp (0.3oz/12g) powdered erythritol
• 1 tbsp (15ml) heavy cream
• 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS:

• 1 Add all of the ingredients except for the ingredients for the optional lemon icing into a middle-sized bowl.Whisk until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.
• 2 Grease your microwave-safe mug or ramekin with cooking oil that doesn’t have a strong taste (I like to use coconut oil, butter or avocado oil).
• 3 Add your cake batter into your mug or ramekin (the mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients).

Instructions: Microwave

• 4 Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
• (The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what microwave and what settings you’re using.)
• A broad rule of thumb: Approx. 1 Minute at 1200 Watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 Watt.
• If you don’t know the Wattage power of your microwave I’d recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed.
• This will avoid that the mug cake dries out.
• You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick – if it comes out “clean” it’s ready!

Instructions: Oven

• 5 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
• Follow the same steps as above.
• Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.
• You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick – if it comes out “clean” it’s ready!

(Optional) Prepare the Lemon Icing:

• 6 Mix the powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and heavy cream and pour it over the finished keto lemon mug cake.
• 7 Enjoy warm or cold, both options taste great!
• 8 Cover with plastic wrap and store for up to 2 days in your fridge.
