Mug Cake FAQ

Can I bake these mug cakes instead of microwaving them?

Yes! Instead of a coffee mug, pour the batter into a 12-ounce ramekin or 2-6 ounce ramekin bowls. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Can I use a bowl instead of a coffee mug to microwave these?

Yes, you can use a microwave-safe bowl or ramekins instead of a coffee cup to microwave these in. However, the cooking time might be different, so microwave for 2 ½ minutes, check the batter, and do 30-second intervals.

What kind of frosting can I put on a mug cake?

You can use any frosting you like on a mug cake. I prefer to use frosting that can be made quickly. I suggest using:

  • whipped cream
  • chocolate chips + a dash of coconut oil or butter, melt it, and stir
  • Peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc.
  • Peanut butter + chocolate chips, melt it and stir
  • Softened cream cheese + sweetener + vanilla, combine
  • Sweetener + cinnamon, for a cinnamon sugar topping that tastes like a donut

How can I make this paleo-friendly?

You can easily make this keto mug cake paleo-friendly by using your favorite Paleo sweetener instead of a keto sweetener. For example, raw honey, maple syrup, coconut palm sugar, or organic maple sugar would be great options for this recipe.
