Step 1 – Preparing the mug cake

  oz erythritol, oz defatted almond flour, oz coconut flour,  tsp baking powder,  tsp pumpkin spice, pinch of salt

  tbsp erythritol, tbsp defatted almond flour, tbsp coconut flour,  tsp baking powder,  tsp pumpkin spice, pinch of salt

Add the dry ingredients for the mug cake into a middle-sized bowl and mix them until well combined.

Step 2

  g pumpkin purée, g melted butter, ml unsweetened almond milk, egg, tsp vanilla extract

  oz pumpkin purée, oz melted butter, fl oz unsweetened almond milk, egg, tsp vanilla extract

  tbsp pumpkin purée, tbsp melted butter, tbsp unsweetened almond milk, egg, tsp vanilla extract

Add the remaining ingredients for the mug cake as well and mix them until you get a smooth and chunk-free dough.

Step 3

Grease your microwave-safe mug or ramekins with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

Use something that doesn’t have a strong taste of it’s own, e.g. butter, avocado oil or coconut oil instead of something like olive oil.

Your mug should be at least double the size of the mixed ingredients.

Step 4

Add your mug cake batter into your mug or ramekins.

Step 5 – Microwave instructions

Microwave for about 1-3 minutes.
(The cooking time in your microwave may vary heavily depending on what settings you’re using.)

A broad rule of thumb: approx. 1 minute at 1200 watt and more like 2-3 minutes at <600 watt.

You can test if your mug cake is done with the “toothpick test”: prick the center of your mug cake with a toothpick – if it comes out clean and without any dough on it, it’s done!

Step 5 – Oven instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.

Bake your mug cake for about 10-15 minutes in your preheated oven.

Step 6 – Preparing the cream cheese topping

Add the ingredients for the cream cheese topping to a middle-sized bowl and mix until you get a smooth mass.

Step 7

Use a frosting bag or a small spoon to top your pumpkin mug cake with the cream cheese topping.

Step 8

Storage

Cover your low carb pumpkin mug cake with plastic wrap and store it in your fridge.

We recommend eating your mug cake on the same day or the day after, as it will dry out rather quickly.
