Lemon and Thyme Mug Cake

Do you ever just get a craving for cake, but don't have enough time and ingredients or just aren't in the mood for baking? Well lucky for you I've got a recipe which will not only satisfy your cravings but is also healthy and super easy to make. It's a delicious simple mug cake.

When I say this mug cake is healthy, I mean it's completely low carb and keto friendly, so you don't have to worry about any extra calories or carbs.

If you’ve got a taste for tart or sour flavors like I am, I promise you this will be your new go to recipe whenever you're craving cake. At first, I was skeptical about how this would taste but after tasting it, oh my god it is amazing. I kept tweaking the recipe here and there to gain as much flavor as I could while making sure not to lose any moisture from the cake. After 2 months straight of trial and error I finally made the perfect recipe.

Just look at this adorable dish. The ingredients for this mug cake are pretty basic, and I'm

sure you’ve got them lying around your kitchen. While it isn’t necessary to add toppings, I wanted to add a bit of whipped cream. If you do decide on adding toppings, I suggest coconut cream or lemon custard for an extra flavor of tartness or even something simple like berries and poppy seeds.

This recipe calls for 1 serving:

Ingredients

• 25g Coconut flour (I personally don't like the taste of all purpose flour in mug cakes)

• 15g Melted butter

• 15g Yogurt

• 1 Whole egg

• 1/2 tsp Extract (I used lemon)

• 1/4 tsp Baking powder

• 2 tbsp Lemon juice

• 1 Sachet of stevia (sweetener of your choice)

• Zest of a lemon

• Couple fresh thyme leaves/ dried thyme

There aren't much instructions, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients in a mug, making sure the mug is spacious enough as the cake does tend to rise out of the mug. I used a ramekin instead of a mug as it looks simply adorable.

Once the ingredients are mixed pop it in the microwave oven and bake till you can stick a toothpick in it and it comes out clean.

Little tip: After the cake is done baking, set it aside to cool down, when it gets close to

cooling poke some holes in the cake and pour a bit of lemon juice if you wanna add a

touch more sourness.

Don’t bake for too long or your cake will turn out dry, to save it from being too dry you can

pour in a bit of sugar water to help the cake moisten.

Be sure to tell me how you liked it and what toppings you used, I'd love to hear from you

all.
