Instructions:

1. Start by selecting a microwave-safe mug or cup, preferably one with a capacity of at least 12 ounces to allow room for the cake to rise while cooking.
2. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the mug and microwave it for about 20 seconds or until the butter is fully melted.
3. Remove the mug from the microwave and swirl the melted butter around the sides of the mug to prevent sticking.
4. In the mug with the melted butter, add 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a fork or a small whisk to beat the egg and vanilla together until well combined.
5. Now, add 2 tablespoons of almond flour, 2 teaspoons of your preferred keto sweetener (e.g., Monk Fruit), 1 tablespoon of cacao powder (unsweetened cocoa powder), and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.
6. Drop the 2 teaspoons of cream cheese bits into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips on top of the batter.
8. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. The cake should rise and become firm.
9. Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot), and let it cool for a minute or two before serving.
10. For the topping, you have two options:

• Option 1: Top the mug cake with canned sugar-free whipped cream.
• Option 2: Make homemade cream cheese whipped cream by mixing 2 ounces of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, and 1 teaspoon of powdered sweetener together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Dollop this on top of your mug cake.

11. Enjoy your Keto Double Chocolate Cupcake Mug Cake as a delightful low-carb dessert!
