Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake Recipe

I’ve had a love for the Chocolate lava cake as long as I can remember, but now, I can enjoy a Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake recipe that only takes seconds to make!!  I made this mug cake recipe for my daughter and she immediately asked me to teach her how to make it herself!  I just love when kids get involved in the kitchen.  The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fat Bombs used to be her favorite treat but now that she can get a gooey chocolate cake hot in seconds has her won over!

Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake Recipe Ingredients

• 2 TBSP Unsalted Butter, melted
• 1 Egg
• 2 TBSP Erythritol (I use this Erythritol found on Amazon)
• 2 TBSP Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1 TBSP Heavy Cream
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 TSP Vanilla Extract

Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake Recipe Microwave Instructions

1. Add egg to butter and whisk until air bubbles begin to appear.
2. Next, add in erythritol, cocoa powder, heavy cream, salt and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
3. Using a microwave-safe mug, spray non-stick baking spray.
4. Pour in batter.
5. Place in microwave for 30-45 seconds. Every microwave is different. You want the outside of the cake slightly firm, while the middle is not yet set, that’s how you get the lava.
6. If you need more time in the microwave, set for 5-10 second intervals until you have the consistency of a Chocolate Lava Cake.
7. Plate and serve with Homemade Whipped Cream.

Keto Chocolate Lava Mug Cake Recipe Oven Instructions

This recipe can be made in the oven too.  Simple pour the batter into an oven-safe ramekin and bake it at 350 degrees for about 13 to 15 minutes.  (You will know it’s done because the top will be soft like a sponge.

You can double or even triple this recipe and make a few more to share too!
