I am so grateful for these mug cakes recipes: they are really easy, perfectly moist and delicious!
We’ve tried vanilla, peanut butter and barley coffee instant powder (instead of cocoa). Thank you!
Jonatan says
I’ll definitely try this!
Just one question out of curiosity, what’s the size of the ramekin?
Thanks 😉

I made the peanut butter one and mixed Lily's chips in the mix and used coconut flour and OMG!!! ITS MY FAVE!!! Of all the mug cakes I've tried this one by far is the best of the best. It had the most "normal" taste instead of the diet-y taste most have.
Kelli H says
I made the vanilla cake with sugar free chocolate chips, and it was so yummy! I really loved it, and it satisfied that sweet tooth during that time of the month that every woman can relate to. Thanks for the recipe.

This is my first time commenting on a post but I HAD to. This was absolutely delicious. I made the regular vanilla and allowed lily’s butterscotch to melt on top of them. I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Cheryl says
Amazing! Feels like I'm cheating! I love peanut butter and this fits the bill when I'm craving something sweet. My birthday is coming I see another one in my future!????????❤
Patty H says
Pretty good! No eggy taste and hits the sweet tooth spot. TY!
Tania says
I've made all three versions of this recipe, they are all very good, my fave is the chocolate because it has an even better texture than the others. I've also varied the chocolate one by adding some orange extract, today I tried chocolate with 1 tbsp. Of chunky peanut butter, it was also wonderful. Thanks for sharing your great recipes.
Jo M says
Amazing recipe! So fluffy! I’ve been making varitons like lavender & lemon and blueberry & cinnamon. Delicious! Looking forward to trying pineapple & coconut flakes and banana & walnuts. 😛
Tina says
I liked it. I used half the sweeter and it was perfect
Molly says
I added chocolate chips to the vanilla recipe and it was amazing! Perfect treat to help curb the sweet craving.
Susan says
I just had your cinnamon version for a breakfast treat! I mixed everything else well & lightly mixed in the cinnamon. PERFECT!!Next time I want to add a few chopped pecans & skip the icing….Merry Christmas & THANKS for being YOU????
Amy says
I was a little skeptical about this recipe becuase I dont like the eggy keto friendly baked substitutes I've tried to make in the past. But this was a small investment of time and effort so I figured why not. I'm pleasantly surprised! The ratio is right on this one, yes its a bit eggy as expected but it tastes great and the texture isn't rubbery. It's a great trade off.
Mary Payne says
I made the peanut butter version. It had a good taste but I think I did something wrong. I will continue to work on getting it right! I have diabetes and always looking for dessert recipes.
Parisa says

D C says
I made the vanilla, but added 1 teas cinnamon and cooked in microwave 90 seconds. Excellent texture and flavor. Use a tall mug to avoid a mess. Next I'll try orange extract for breakfast. Thank you.

I made the vanilla cake with coconut flour and just 1Tbsp of Monkfruit sweetener. Then put Lily's Dark Chocolate baking chips on top afterwards. Wow! So delicious, wonderful texture, very quick and easy to make. Definitely my go to for a satisfying treat. Thank you!!
Wendy says
Just made again and only used 1/2 Tb of monkfruit sweetener. Perfect! Wendy
Marie says
I really enjoyed this I made the vanilla is the carb count minus the fiber? Or is the total carb 5gr?
Monica says
This really hit the spot! I just made my cake with coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener and a splash of cake batter extract. It was really sweet, and the texture was great! I look forward to making the other varieties with toppings and goodies inside. Thanks so much!

These mug cake recipes are the best!!! Thank you, Jennifer!!! Last night I made the chocolate mug cake and added in 1 Tbs. of peanut butter and tonight I made the vanilla mug cake and added in a 1/2 tsp of lemon extract and topped with raspberries. Both were exceptionally delicious. Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes in the future.
LETICIA says
I absolutely loved this, it was just simply delicious. I made the chocolate one with coconut flour and this is so simple, it's almost unbelievable. Thank you!
Carla says
This tastes so good it feels like I am cheating. Thank you!
Eleni says
This is so yum, best mug cake recipe I’ve ever tried. All the versions come out moist, and have no egginess. I use 2tbl Allulose sweetner, perfect, not cloyingly sweet. I finish it off with a drizzle of Choc Zero Nutella sauce and a dollop of homemade cream. OMG, the money I have spent trying and throwing away keto desserts, when I could have been making this.this is my weekly indulgence and has helped me keep my keto lifestyle without feeling I’m missing out.
Toni says
Chocolate one was my favourite because you couldn't taste the egginess. I used coconut flour. Will definitely make again. I've tried lots of keto mug cake recipes and this one is the best so far.
Atif says
Have to say simply amazing!
Tried different recipes but this is far the best.
Light/ soft texture. Good cake fix
Thank you so much!
