Easy 5-Minute Keto Lemon Mug Cake
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.

(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.
