If you’re looking to curb that sweet tooth on your keto diet or low-carb diet, this is the best keto chocolate cake with a hot chocolate recipe poured over the top! Just 5 g net carbs per cake!!
Easy Keto Mug Cake Recipe
Delicious keto desserts don’t have to be difficult and should be an easy recipe so when you are having a chocolate craving and you don’t want to turn to sugar and refined carbs, it needs to be quickly available.
If you’re a chocolate lover like me, this low-carb cake with hot cocoa drizzled over the top is a satisfying, decadent chocolate cake but made with portion control in mind.
This chocolate keto cake makes just two servings so you will be less likely to overindulge as you might be tempted to if you have a whole fudgy cake in the house.
Though this recipe isn’t technically made in a mug, it certainly could be made in a coffee mug instead of a ramekin if you prefer.
It’s the same concept though as most mug cake recipes which are quick and easy, providing a moist cake with a rich chocolate flavor that curbs the chocolate cravings in no time at all!
