What is a Mug Cake?

A mug cake is, quite literally, a cake that is in a mug, which is prepared in a microwave. They are designed to be easy, portion controlled desserts that you can make quickly to satisfy cravings when they hit!

Mug vs Ramekins for Making Mug Cakes

Traditionally, the mug cakes are mixed and baked in a mug, hence the name. But if you don’t have heat-resistant cups or just want to serve your keto chocolate mug cake with a cute presentation, you can use a ramekin too. You can mix and bake the dessert in a mug and later transfer it to a pretty ramekin. Or if your ramekin is large enough, you can start using it for all things cake, right from mixing to serving. Whether you use a mug or a cute ramekin, remember to coat it with cooking spray before filling to avoid a sticky situation.

Portion Controlled Keto Desserts

Unlike a strict keto diet that puts a complete ban on sugary sweets, portion control calls for a moderate intake at a time. In other words, don’t overeat, not even the healthy sugar-free chocolate mug cake. The benefits of portion control are not limited to maintaining a healthy weight, but also include:

Easy food digestion
Feel more energized throughout the day
Controlled blood sugar levels
No ingredients wasted
Less dirty dishes

How to Make a Sugar-Free Chocolate Mug Cake in the Microwave?

How to Make a Dairy-Free Keto Chocolate Mug Cake?

If you need the delicious mug cake to be dairy-free, replace butter with ghee (highly-clarified butter) or coconut oil. These are great dairy-free fat options when keto baking.

Keto Approved Chocolate

Keto approved means chocolates that are free of sugar and sugary alcohol. This recipe uses cocoa powder for the chocolate flavoring. Make sure you grab a cocoa powder that is 100% unsweetened cocoa powder. Some cocoa powders contain sugar and added carbohydrates.

Can I Make a Larger Cake with this Recipe?

Yes, you can! Just use triple or 4-times the recipe ingredients, pour them into a greased square-shaped baking dish or cake pan, and bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
