Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons almond flour or all-purpose flour For gluten-free, use almond flour.
  • 2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener Can substitute with regular sugar, but will increase calories.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil or applesauce Use applesauce for a vegan option.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add all dry ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt) to a microwave-safe mug and mix well.
  • Pour in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and oil or applesauce.
  • Stir gently until the mixture is smooth.

Cooking

  • Microwave for 60–90 seconds until the cake is set.
  • Let it rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh from the mug. For extra flavor, consider adding toppings like fresh berries, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Avoid overcooking and customize with spices or a chocolate variation by adding cocoa powder.
