I am doing it again - getting back into Keto before the summer hits! I'm only on my 2nd day of Keto and I have been doing great about eating fulfilling meals, but my sweet tooth is incredibly annoying. So, as usual when the cravings hit, I search the web for a keto-friendly dessert that is easy and accommodates me with all the ingredients I have on hand...which isn't much as always!

After some time browsing around, I finally came across a fun recipe for a Keto vanilla mug cake. It requires both Almond and Coconut flour and of course a low-carb sweetener like Monk fruit sugar. The recipe was very simple and since it was my first time making a mug cake, I was really curious with how it would turn out. Ironically enough, I had just enough sugar for this recipe so it was definitely meant to be.
Once the ingredients were mixed together, I poured it into a mug, smoothed down the surface and popped it in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. I ended up taking it out 10 seconds earlier though just to make sure it didn't over cook which was a good call. I was so surprised by how much the cake has risen and how fragrant it was!

The cake was fairly hot at this point, so I decided to pop the cake out of the mug and put it into a new mug that was colder to help it cool down faster. I couldn't believe how dense the cake was! I had never made a mug cake before so the fact that I had a small cake ready in less than 2 minutes wowed me over. I had always heard people raving about mug cages and now I could see why!
 I topped my cake with whipped cream |

Let me just start by saying for a Keto mug cake, this was everything I needed to satisfy my cravings! It wasn't overly sweet, it was soft with a great vanilla taste to it, and the richness from the almond and coconut flour made it so filling. Obviously the whipped cream was a bonus that completed this cake, but as I was eating it, I felt so happy that I had found an easy Keto dessert that I could make literally in minutes; how awesome.

| Such great texture for a mug cake! While I only just started my Keto diet, having a simple and clean dessert that I can indulge in makes each day a bit better! This recipe is definitely a new favorite of mine and I can't wait to make variations of it. |
Until next time! - Sarah xoxo
