Carrot Keto Mug Cake (Keto Dessert, Low Carb Desserts) Featured Image
Yields2 Servings
Prep Time5 minsCook Time1 minTotal Time6 mins
For the Dough:
 2 tbsp (28g) erythritol
 1 tbsp (15 ml) melted coconut oil
 1 tbsp (15 ml) unsweetened almond milk
 1 egg
 ½ tsp (gluten-free) baking powder
 ½ (50g) carrot, shredded
 1 pinch ground ginger
 1 pinch ground nutmeg
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
 2 tbsp (28g) full fat cream cheese
 1 tbsp (15g) erythritol
 1 tbsp (15ml) unsweetened almond milk
 shredded carrot for decoration
Instructions: Microwave
1

Add all of the ingredients for the cake batter into a bowl and whisk until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.

2

Grease your microwave-safe mug with a plant oil or oil spray that doesn't have a strong taste (I almost always use coconut oil or sunflower oil).

3

Add your cake batter into a mug (the mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients).

4

Microwave for about 60 seconds.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary - I recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (50 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed. (To avoid dryness.)
You can test if your mug cake is completely cooked by pricking the center with a toothpick - if it comes out "clean" it's ready!

5

Mix the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting except for the grated carrot.
Wait until your mug cake has cooled off a bit and add the frosting on top of your mug cake.
Enjoy!

Instructions: Oven
6

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
