Low Carb Coconut Flour Mug Cake

Have you ever just wanted a piece of cake, but not have to make the whole thing? Because I think we’ve all been in that boat at some point. But then I feel obligated to eat the whole thing so it won’t go to waste.

And to be honest, I’m not that much of a cake person. I mean, I do love making a Sugar Free Coconut Flour Layer Cake every now and again. But you won’t see me eating cake on my birthday.

Not that I’m a cake discriminator or anything. Cake has never been something I enjoyed that much. But I do tend to eat it more during the holidays or at a wedding.

So instead of making a whole cake, another option is to make a basic coconut flour mug cake. That way, you can adjust each mug cake to your own liking. This basic recipe is cake-like, sweet, and has a small hint of vanilla from using vanilla extract.

And I’ve tried this recipe with Hershey’s Dark Cocoa and really liked how it turned out. It almost reminded me of a deep chocolate brownie, nut not quite like my Sugar Free Brownies. I’d be interested to see how it would taste with if I added some chocolate chips.

The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was that this recipe does smell egg-like. But, it did not have an eggy aftertaste. Rather than deal with the smell, I just let it cool down a little before I ate the cake.

However, it only seemed to smell like eggs when it was minimally flavored. When I added Hershey’s Dark Cocoa into a batter, it smelled just like chocolate. One tip you could try is adding more vanilla to offset the smell.

If you’re feeling a bit more adventures, you could even add a bit more spices. Try adding in some pumpkin for a Coconut Flour Paleo Pumpkin Mug Cake treat or make your own Tiramisu Mug Cake.

If you’re interested in adding chocolate powder to this, I wouldn’t add more than 1/2 tbsp. It seems to dry out the batter a bit. That’s why I like to use the dark cocoa to get more chocolate flavor.

And, instead of a baking my cake in a large mug I like to use a crock pot bowl. It takes about the same amount of time to microwave. The only difference is just how it looks.

    This is the first sweet thing that I’ve had since I started my diet about 3 weeks ago, and this is the best! It tasted a little eggy but other wise it tasted really good

    I’m allergic to nuts. What can I use instead of the vanilla almond milk?

      You could use water and just add a little bit more of vanilla extract.
