Tips & Tricks
Baking tips
Make sure you’re using almond flour instead of almond meal for these cakes since the latter results in a dense cake that won’t rise. The coconut flour is also essential as it helps absorb excess moisture. If you’d like to make this just for yourself, then half all the ingredients. Alternatively, you could eat the two servings yourself, but that’s up to you and your daily calorie limit.
Upgrade your cakes
Mug cakes are pretty forgiving when it comes to toppings and fillings – there is a whole range of ingredients that behave well with mug cakes like these. Consider topping these cakes with berries instead of the chocolate bar. You can also add a teaspoon of sugar-free jelly at the center of the cake or even your favorite nut butter. Some also prefer their chocolate mug cakes topped with a sugar-free chocolate sauce.
