What\u2019s the deal with Mug Cakes?
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have been looking for a dessert that requires minimal effort than this is the recipe for you. Mug cakes are a quick and easy dessert that you make in you microwave. I prefer to use a large 12 oz. Ramekin<\/a> instead of a coffee mug but either will work just fine. If using regular sized coffee mugs you will split the recipe in half into 2 mugs and only microwave 60 seconds. This is the type of recipe that\u2019s great on a weeknight when you don\u2019t want to bake for an hour. You can literally stir all the ingredients together and about 90 seconds later dessert is ready.

Mocha Latte Mug Cake
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are literally hundreds of different flavors of mug cakes that you can make but this one is definitely one of my favorites. Who doesn\u2019t love that mocha latte flavor and who doesn\u2019t love cake. So combining the two was a no brainer. Lonolife makes these convenient single serving packets of Mocha Flavored Collagen Peptides<\/a> that are great on their own but also add the health benefits of collagen to your keto dessert.

Fluffy or Fudgy how do you take your mug cake??
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The texture of what the perfect mug cake is highly debated. While some prefer a fluffy fully cooked mug cake others prefer a fudgy lava cake texture. I\u2019m on the fence as to which I prefer. I will say that the fully cooked mug cake has a dry sponge cake texture. The remedy for this is simply serving this mocha latte mug cake with a dollop of keto friendly whipped cream. Served with a few sliced strawberries to round out the plate for a beautiful presentation that looks like it took hours to make. While microwaving your mug cake you can quickly whisk together a \u00bc cup of  heavy cream with a \u00bc tsp vanilla extract and a tbsp of keto friendly Sweetener. I prefer Allulose<\/a> but you can use whatever you prefer. Once the whipped topping is thickened to a stiff peak it\u2019s ready and so is your mug cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
