This six-minute sugar-free microwave mug cake will hit all the right chocolate notes while also keeping blood sugars in check.
A mug cake is the perfect way to satisfy a little after-dinner craving. It’s quick, easy, and fun to make – and it doesn’t produce an entire cake that will sit around tempting you with its carbohydrate siren song. Plus, this particular mug cake is quite low in carbs to begin with, thanks to the substitution of erythritol and almond flour for the more usual sugar and flour.
Two small caveats: First, there’s a bit of a learning curve with the timing, because it really depends on the wattage and the strength of your microwave. Just try to remember for next time what ended up working. And second, I’m saying this makes 2 servings, and I realize it’s a single cake in a mug. But you can just spoon half of it into a different mug for your cake partner. (Or you can divide the batter and bake it in two mugs or ramekins.)
