You can make 2 desserts out of this recipe, or stack them for one glorious treat, like I did… well I just had a birthday and you really must have cake, a special cake, right?

Truth be told, my husband and I ended up sharing it!  And the best part, it actually tastes as good as it looks!

How to Make Keto Mug Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Unsalted grass-fed butter
  • Sour cream
  • Heavy cream
  • Swerve confectioners
  • Egg
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla extract

For the Toppings

  • Heavy cream
  • Strawberries
  • Stevia sweetener

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

Preparation

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!

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.

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.

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!
