How big is this mug cake?

Since this keto chocolate mug cake is a single-serve only, it’s not too big. It’s about the size of a medium cupcake but it packs so much flavor in the small size!

How many carbs in mug cake?

This easy keto mug cake has 4g of net carbs per serve without any toppings. Any additional toppings can increase the carb count.

Can I eat chocolate on keto?

Chocolate is definitely allowed on the keto diet. Just make sure you choose the right one.

The best kind of chocolate to have on the ketogenic diet contains at least 80% cocoa solids and has no added sugar.

Our favorite keto chocolate is dark chocolate chips.

They are the perfect addition to almost every keto dessert and contain just 1g of net carbs per 1 tbsp serving.

Lindt also has some great 80% and 90% cocoa chocolate bars which are a bit higher than Lily’s in net carbs but equally as delicious and good for you.

Here’s everything you will need to make the 1-minute keto mug cake:

Egg – A medium-sized egg that’s at room temperature is preferred.
Sweetener of your choice, I use Erythritol
Cacao or Cocoa powder – Make sure your cacao powder has no sugar added! I love the viva naturals organic cacao powder as it doesn’t have a bitter taste and tastes like real chocolate.

Another good option is the Hersheys unsweetened 100% cacao powder. It’s cheap, contains just 1 gram of net carbs per serve and is readily available in most supermarkets.
