Ingredients

3 tablespoons almond flour
2 tablespoons artificial sweetener
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar free chocolate chips
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a 8 to 12 oz mug, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and sweetener. Mix until well combined.
Then add the heavy cream, oil, vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Top with sugar-free chocolate chips.
Put in the microwave for 1 minute and 45 seconds, or add a few more seconds, if the cake batter still seems too moist and wet.
Let cool for at least one minute. Top with homemade sugar free whipped cream.

Notes

While this recipe is called a mug cake, I'll often make it in a ramekin as well.

You can make this recipe using coconut flour but keep in mind that coconut flour has almost double the carbs of almond flour. That's why I chose almond flour to keep the carbs down. However, if you cannot eat almond flour, by all means substitute coconut or another low-carb flour. But keep in mind that the nutritional information I've provided will not be accurate.
