Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Almond Flour
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tbsp Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tbsp Melted Butter or Coconut Oil
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Optional: a pinch of salt, a few sugar-free chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 Microwave-Safe Mug (10–12 oz)
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Fork or Small Whisk
  • 1 Microwave

Method
 

  1. Take a microwave-safe mug and add almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt (optional). Stir to combine.
  2. Crack in the egg, then add melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix well with a fork or small whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Optional: Stir in a few sugar-free chocolate chips for extra richness.
  4. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds. Check at the 60-second mark; if the center is still wet, microwave it for an additional 15–30 seconds.
  5. Let the cake rest for 2 minutes before eating.
  6. Enjoy or top with sugar-free whipped cream, nut butter, or berries!

Notes

  • Use fine almond flour for a smoother texture.
  • Don’t overcook—microwave in short intervals to avoid drying it out.
  • Add a touch of cinnamon or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Mix thoroughly to avoid eggy spots.
  • Customize it with chopped nuts or extracts like mint or orange.
