HOW TO MAKE A MUG CAKE

This single serving microwave Strawberries and Cream Mug Cake starts with an almond flour cake base mixed with fresh strawberries and heavy cream.

• First, we’re going to combine almond flour, baking powder, and some sweetener in a 12-ounce mug, or larger. The cake batter rises up while cooking in the microwave, and if the mug isn’t big enough, it will overflow. Tried and TRUE! 
• Then, we’re going to add in some heavy cream, melted butter, and diced fresh strawberries; mix it all up and set it in the microwave for 90 seconds, and up to 2 minutes. Test for doneness, add a few seconds as necessary, but don’t overcook. 

• Lastly, using your mixer, whip up some heavy cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form. 
• Add the whipped cream to the top of your mug cake, place a fresh strawberry over it, and gobble up! 

This is the kind of dessert that you whip up on a Tuesday afternoon, OR the kind of cake you prepare for your last minute Valentine’s Day date. It literally takes 2 minutes to cook and a minute to prepare. 

COOK’S NOTES

• I also need to mention that Mug Cakes can be a tad bit tricky because everyone’s microwave is different. In my microwave oven this cake takes exactly 2 minutes and 25 seconds to make. In yours it might take 90 seconds, or a full 3 minutes.
• If your cake is dry, it usually means you cooked it for too long. Or you overmixed. That can also happen. Don’t overmix. Mix just until all the ingredients are combined.
