This treat is for all chocolate and coffee lovers. So why not have a cup of mocha and make a 2-minute cake? If you avoid caffeine, I included a caffeine-free option made from chicory root. I also listed some allergy free options for those who can't eat eggs or nuts and added tips for oven baking. For more mug cakes, check out more keto recipes.
Allergy-free Tips and Substitutions
Too "eggy"? Although I like this combination, some of you may perceive it as too "eggy". You can try the following: use one egg, double all the dry ingredients and add 1/4 cup coconut milk, almond milk or cream. This mixture will make 2 mug cakes. Instead of the listed sweeteners, you can try other healthy low-carb sweeteners from this list. The reason I'm using both Erythritol and stevia is to mask the aftertaste some of the sweeteners may have.
Egg-free version: Use 2 tbsp chia seed meal (16 g / 0.6 oz) instead of 1 egg + 1/4 cup coconut milk or heavy whipping cream + 1 tsp psyllium husk powder.
Nut-free version: Use 1 heaping tablespoon of coconut flour instead of 2 tablespoons of almond flour. If you don't have coconut flour, you can use 2 tablespoons of finely shredded desiccated coconut instead.

Ingredients (makes 1 serving)
Instructions
- Place all the dry ingredients in a mug or a ramekin and combine well. (I used caffeine-free chicory coffee powder)
- Add the egg, coconut oil and stevia (if used) and mix well using a fork. Microwave on high for 70-90 seconds.
- When done, you can optionally top the mug cake with whipped cream or creamed coconut milk.
Tips for cooking in the oven: If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you make 4-8 servings at once. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked in the centre.
Enjoy!
