How to Make Keto Mug Cake
Add the ¼ cup of heavy cream (for the topping) to a glass bowl and put it in the freezer for a few minutes.
Add the butter to a separate bowl and melt in the microwave. Then add in the heavy cream, sour cream, swerve and the egg, whisk to combine.
Add the baking powder and coconut flower in with the almond flour. Then add in with the wet ingredients mixture and whisk.
Spray 2 microwave-safe ramekins with non-stick coconut oil spray, and pour the batter evenly into both. Microwave for 60 seconds, check them, then microwave for another 30 seconds. If they are still not cooked through, microwave for another 30 seconds. Mine only took 90 seconds total.
Once they are cooked, set aside to cool and retrieve the heavy cream from the freezer.
Whip until you get soft peaks, then add in the stevia to taste. I used about 5 drops, you can add more or less, to your liking.
Once the cakes have cooled, top with the whipped cream and fresh cut strawberries. You can stack them as you see in the picture below, to make one awesome dessert, or you can make 2 desserts. Another option is, you can slice each cake in half and make 2 stacked shortcakes.

I dont usually comment on recipes but this one was worthy of it! I used a packet/ of stevia to replace confectioners and it still came out great. I have tried several of these keto mugcake recipes and this one is by far the best! Thanks so much for posting it!
Keto Cooking Christian
Aww, thanks so much for the awesome feedback. I'm glad you liked it!
Stef
I loved this as a mug cake! I added lemon extract and some tiny diced strawberries to the batter. I’d love to triple this recipe and bake as cupcakes in the oven. Any suggestions on ratios and cook time for say a dozen cupcakes? Thanks!

Oh my goodness. I am amazed at how simple and tasty this is! I already had shipped cream and sliced strawberries with sweetener, so I made the cake. I had my doubts...sour cream? In cake? In a microwave?? I am so thankful I tried. So is my husband. I used a 6" ramekin and just put the strawberries with sauce and whipped cream. Made our roster! Thank you so much. God bless.
Keto Cooking Christian
So glad you you both liked it and God bless you too, thank you!
Debi
One of my entire families favorite desserts! It doesn’t get easier and it’s absolutely delicious. The only variation I make is to add a sugar substitute to the strawberries so we get some yummy sweet sauce to spoon on top.

So you macerate them first, fantastic idea thanks for sharing!

What size ramekins do you use?

Amazing recipe! I make this often and it’s easy and delicious. Who doesn’t love a mug cake!? I’ll make it ahead of time and put it in the fridge to cool and use it when I’m ready which makes it even easier. Thank you!

Hi Cari,
I'm so glad you like the recipe! I don't do mug cakes too often, but sometimes it's nice to make a quick dessert to satisfy our cravings, right!?
