This keto cinnamon roll mug cake is as easy as it can get! Ready in a few minutes, gluten- & sugar-free + high in fiber! Perfect for the ketogenic diet!
Add all of the ingredients for the mug cake base into a middle-sized bowl.
Whisk until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.
Grease your microwave-safe mug or bowl with cooking oil that doesn't have a strong taste (I like to use coconut oil, butter or avocado oil).
Add your cake batter into a mug or bowl (the mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients).
Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what microwave and what settings you're using.
A broad rule of thumb: Approx. 1 Minute at 1200 Watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 Watt.
If you don't know the Wattage power of your microwave I'd recommend baking your mug cake for a shorter time period (60 seconds) first and continue baking for a few more seconds if needed.
This will avoid that the mug cake dries out.
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!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C).
Follow the same steps as above.
Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes.

(Optional): Melt the cream cheese for the cream cheese topping.
I prefer to do that with a double boiler in a small bowl but you could also simply pop the cream cheese into your microwave for a few seconds until it’s melted.
(Optional): Combine the melted cream cheese with the powdered erythritol and the heavy cream.
Make sure no chunks of powdered erythritol are left.
(Optional): Pour the liquid cream cheese topping over your baked mug cake and sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top.
Enjoy while it's still warm or cover with plastic wrap and enjoy cold whenever you want.
Both options taste good!
