Excellent, delicious, easy and so quick, love it. Thank you so much for the coconut flour alternative.
Gabby says
Such a delicious baked good and simple to make too! So happy I found this recipe!
Toni says
I discovered a while ago that mixing the almond flour and coconut flour, (half of each measure) gives a good wheatflour texture to a keto cake. This chocolate mug cake turned out very well. I put half the mix in two ramekins, and cooked for 45 seconds. A whole mug cake is too much for me and cutting in half doesn't work as well as splitting the mix.
Lee says
Fabulous and super easy! Great treat without worrying about mindlessly eating the rest of a huge cake. Seriously, an excellent idea and great recipe. Thank you!
John S says
Made it with my wife who loves cake and she said wow this is low in calories? She loved it.
Lisa says
Delicious! I made the vanilla one because I have been craving a sweet treat. I added pumpkin spice and used only one tablespoon of sugar substitute. Topped with almond and coconut whipped cream!
Ann says
A little dry maybe next time I’ll take it out of microwave 5 min earlier.
Alexandra says
I'm so happy I found this recipe!!
I've tried other versions of Vanilla keto mug cake and they are dense but this one is soft and fluffy!!!
My go-to recipe from now on!
Debbie says
This was very good. I made a strawberry version using some Anthony's strawberry powder I got from Amazon and sprinkled a few sf white choc chips on top. I did use less sweetener than called for because I k ow I don't like things very sweet anymore. Really enjoyed - thanks!
Joely Winstone-Corke says
Omg this mug cake is perfect! I wouldn’t even know it’s made with almond flour. So tasty

Hi
I am once again on Keto and didn't want to restrict myself so much this time.
Your mug cake recipe makes me feel like a pastry chef and I can barely boil water.
THANKs

Jeannie says
These were delicious! Made the chocolate chip cakes with coconut flour added cinnamon and 2T of cashew milk bcuz my coconut flour is extra dry and microwaved for 50 seconds
Char says
I had a bad sweet tooth one night & I stumbled upon this recipe because I already had the ingredients on hand. I made it with coconut flour and topped the vanilla with chocolate chips - it was amazingy delicious. Can't wait to try it again with peanut butter this time, this was so easy and quick to make it!
Martha says
Quick and easy! I added peanut butter to the chocolate. Delicious!
Sandi says
Easy, quick and tasty.
Rhonda says
I made the chocolate (without chocolate chips) and the peanut butter both with almond flour. I added a pinch of salt to each. I didn't use this as a mug cake, though. I put it into my waffle iron. Each batch made two delicious waffles! This is going into my regular brunch rotation!
Niedles says
Tastes good but too sweet. I will cut the sugar substitute in half next time. Great texture and flavor, though
RA says
I always come back to this mug cake! It’s the perfect recipe. I am always amazed how almond flour in this recipe results in the exact same cakey texture as wheat flour!
Kevin says
So good.we celebrated national chocolate cake day. Will definitely make again. Perfect size, not wanting to get a second piece.
Alicia says
I typically don’t write reviews but I just had to comment how good this tastes. I topped it off with whipped heavy whipping cream. So delicious!! Thank you! I
Leanne says
I make low carb deserts for my diabetic husband. This mug cake recipe is easy and following the recipe as written made a perfect cake. If I didn't know it was keto, I wouldn't thought it was. It was light, fluffy and delicious. My husband loved it! Thank you. Do you have a keto icing recipe also? Thanks again.
barb tozak says

Laura says
I’ve tried a lot of keto mug cake recipes, this one is my favorite! I made the peanut butter version with coconut flour. Thank you for the recipe!
Ruth says
I'm keto-controlled diabetic recovering from surgery, so it's important to get enough calories while keeping the carbs low. This was perfect, appetizing when most of my usual favorites are turning me off.
Giovanna says
Thank you, this recipe is easy, quick and absolutely delicious! I tried the chocolate cake with coconut flour, adding chocolate chips.
Elsa says
So EASY to make! I made the peanut butter mug cake using almond flour!!
Diane says
Thank you for this delicious and versatile recipe! I made it with coconut flour, coconut butter and pecans . Delicious!
Shanique says
This was good! I substituted 1 tablespoon oat flour and added a few pieces of walnuts and it turned out great!
Haley says
This perfectly satisfied my bf's and my craving for late-night cake!
My thoughts and experience:
Coconut flour, chocolate flavor.
Halved the sugar replacement. Added a pinch of salt to the mug too. I also wished I had mixed the dry ingredients before adding the wet stuff to prevent clumps. Minor clumps, but delicious taste! The cake itself is springy and light, but still feels like a legit cake.
Barbara Martino says
So good! I am a dessert lover but also a health watcher. This sounded right up my alley...and it was!! I made the chocolate with almond flour and added in almond/cashew butter instead of peanut butter. Topped with some chocolate chips and coconut milk. It's a delicious keeper!!
Overseas says
Amazing!! Used allulose “maple syrup” with natural peanut butter, and almond flour. Perfect snack that didn’t spike my blood sugar!
Carrie says
Super yummy! So moist and delicious. This is the best mug cake I have ever tried! I made the chocolate one this time, next time I will try adding peanut butter. I made the recipe as listed and used coconut flour for the flour. Once again Yummy!!!
Julie Haug says
I made the mug cake with almond butter and coconut flour. Wow, fast and easy.
Sydney says
I've tried many mug cake recipes, but I absolutely love this one the best. Will make this weekly I can already tell, and I have made 3 of your recipes this week with smashing success, it didn't feel like being on a diet =) Thanks much!
Maria says
This is so good. Thank you !
Teresa says
Just tried the chocolate recipe using chocolate chips and it is AMAZING! Will definitely try the other flavors.
Char says
This is my go to mug cake recipe. It is easily adaptable. Make the chocolate and add a dollop of peanut butter, make the vanilla and add a few frozen berries, make the vanilla and add a splash of maple and rum extract with a few chopped walnuts. As soon as I get more banana extract, going to try it too!
Lynn says
Made the vanilla version with coconut flour and it was very good. After it was done I stuffed a piece of Russell Stover sugar-free candy in the middle and it melted nicely...yummy. It was a bit dry so I might lower the time to 50 seconds next time or try it with almond flour or a mixture of the two. I did use a 10 oz. ramekin so the larger surface may be the reason it was dry.
