Keto Lemon Mug Cake Ingredients:

( This is a quick glance at the ingredients and tools needed to make this Lemon Mug Cake recipe. You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card at the end of this post!)

• Finely ground coconut flour
• Finely ground almond flour: the mixture of almond flour and coconut flour is the secret for keeping this recipe affordable, fluffy & moist!
• Granulated erythritol: in my opinion, the best keto-friendly sweetener. It doesn’t spike your blood sugar, it’s completely safe and has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
• Lemon juice: preferably from a fresh lemon, but instead you can also use a lemon extract flavor if you want. This one is optional but it does enhance the flavor quite a bit.
• Eggs: one whole egg
• Almond milk: unsweetened
• Liquid stevia
• Melted butter
• Baking powder: look for a gluten-free version without corn starch

For Lemon icing (optional, but recommended 😉 )

The sugar-free lemon icing is optional, but I do recommend adding it as the flavors enhance each other perfectly.

• Unsweetened almond milk
• Powdered erythritol
• fresh lemon juice or lemon extract flavor

You’ll also Need:

– Mug or Ramekin: Make sure to use a microwave-safe ramekin or mug for this cake. If sharing, you might choose to cook in a ramekin because it is easier to remove the cake and serve on a plate. If enjoying alone, a mug works great!

– Microwave

Ingredients

Mug Cake

• 1 1/2 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tbsp almond flour
• 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• 1 tbsp erythritol
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice or 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract flavor
• 3 drops liquid stevia
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1-2 tbsp butter, melted

Topping

• 4 tbsp powdered erythritol
• 1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
• 1/8 tsp lemon extract flavor
• almonds for topping (optional)

Instructions

Mug Cake

1. Use melted butter to coat mug cups or ramekins.
2. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients well.
3. Add to mug cup(s) or ramekins.
4. Make sure it doesn't fill much more than 1/2 the cup because it will rise.
5. Microwave for 90 seconds.
6. Remove from microwave and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip upside down onto a plate.

Topping

1. Mix topping ingredients in a small bowl and combine well.
2. The topping should be thick but pourable.
3. Drizzle just a small amount on the mug cake(s). You may have extra.
4. Top with almonds (optional)

Notes

Drizzle the glaze after 2 minutes 

Don’t drizzle the lemon mug cake with the vanilla glaze as soon as the mug cake is fresh from the microwave. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes, then drizzle
over the top.

Check the mug cake in30-second intervals

Pause your microwave at the 1-minute mark, and insert a skewer in the center. If it comes out clean, the mug cake is done. If some batter remains on it, continue microwaving it in 30-second spurts until it is done. No microwave is created equal, and the power it provides varies.
