Variation

Feeling adventurous? You can easily switch this up! Make it vegan by using flaxseed meal instead of the egg and coconut oil for the butter. Or, add some fresh berries for a delightful fruity twist—perfect for summer vibes!

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Sure, but it won’t be keto-friendly anymore! Almond flour keeps it low-carb.

How can I make this cake sweeter?
Feel free to add more stevia, but do it a little at a time to avoid overpowering it.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the ingredients and store them in the mug until you’re ready to cook. Easy peasy!
