    • Food Scale - it helps weigh out the ingredients correctly
    • Coconut Flour - don't try to use any other flour
    • Granulated Erythritol - this will sweeten up the cake without adding any carbs/calories
    • Confectioners Erythritol - you'll need this to make the drizzle
    • Coconut Oil - this is also for the drizzle

    • Author: The Diet Chef
    • Prep Time: 5 mins
    • Cook Time: 1 min
    • Total Time: 6 mins
    • Yield: 1 Mug Cake 1x
    • Category: Breakfast
    • Cuisine: Keto

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 Large Eggs
    • 2 Tbsps (15g) Coconut flour
    • ½ Scoop (15g) Protein Powder
    • 1 Tsp PURE Vanilla Extract
    • ½ Tsp Baking powder
    • 1 ¾ Tbsp (20g) Granulated erythritol
    • Pinch of cinnamon
    • Glaze:
    • 2 Tsps (5g) Confectioners erythritol
    • 1 Tsp (5g) Melted coconut oil

    Instructions

    1. Add the eggs to a medium/large sized bowl
    2. Whisk until egg yolks and whites combine with one another
    3. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk again (do this until most of the protein powder dissolves in the batter - may take a couple of minutes)
    4. When everything has dissolved, coat a small dish with non-stick baking spray and add the batter
    5. Microwave for 1-2 minutes
    6. ***Microwave times will vary. ALWAYS go with less time than you think. Then keep microwaving until perfect cake consistency forms.
    7. ***My microwave is 700 Watts and 1:45 is about the right amount of time. Adjust accordingly
    8. While the cake is microwaving add the glaze ingredients to a small dish, and combine.
    9. If the glaze is too thick for whatever reason add just a tiny TINY bit of milk to thin it out.
    10. When the cake is done in the microwave add the glaze, top with cinnamon and enjoy!

    Notes

    *NOTE: The macros do not include the "carbs" from the erythritol. Erythritol doesn't have calories, thus I did not include the "carbs" in the macro nutrient information.

    *NOTE: To up the fat, add coconut oil to the cake batter!

      Made this today. It was really amazing. The glaze does the trick. It needed a touch more cinnamon for me but overall was exactly what I needed for my sweet fix.
