Amazing, Irresistible Cinnamon Mug Cake
Before diving into this recipe, let me just say that this is one of the tastiest, easiest and most irresistible cakes out there. You are going to go crazy for this one! Luckily, as I mentioned, it is super easy to make so you can enjoy this cake every day, if you’d like! I strongly recommend making it a cold weather, night time tradition as ending the day with a low carb, warm, flavorful cake seems perfect. Then again, isn't a warm fresh cake good any time of year? Yes.
If you are new to the world of mug cakes, get ready to have your dessert world changed forever. Mug cakes are a simple and very fast way to make an individually sized cake. With most mug cakes, the ingredients are mixed together in a bowl or right in a large mug. Then, the cake is microwaved for a few minutes and out pops a beautifully baked cake, just for you! No need to turn on the oven or make a full sized cake when you can just make a mug cake instead. Who knew you could bake a cake in the microwave! You can seriously have fresh cake whenever you want. No need to go to a bakery or make a whole cake ever again!
Not only are mug cakes great because they can be quickly made in a microwave but they can also help you with portion control. When following a keto diet, you may find lots of dessert recipes that are low carb but serve a large number of people. How can you be sure you are eating the correct serving size? And how can you resist eating more than your share (a freshly baked, large cake can be hard to resist!). With mug cakes, you do not need to worry about eating too much or consuming too many carbs by accident. You can eat the whole cake as it is portioned for one person. So enjoy that mug cake with no stress attached- you are still sticking to your keto diet!
If you love this mug cake, you will definitely want to check out some of our other mug cake recipes– there are actually a lot! Your microwave is about to get more use than it ever has before! One ingredient you will want to have on hand is almond flour as it is used in a lot of keto baked goods including mug cakes. Grab a bag or two next time you are at the grocery store and you will be ready to make mug cakes whenever the mood strikes.
This recipe for a cinnamon mug cake is very straight forward and will create a very fluffy, warm cake full of rich cinnamon tastes. However, to take it a step further, we topped the cake with a tahini frosting that takes the cake to the next level. You can choose to skip the frosting if you are in a rush or want to save a few calories but it adds to the savory and sweetness of the dessert that you should definitely try at least once.
So your dessert for tonight is already decided- you are having cinnamon mug cake with tahini frosting! Grab your favorite book, curl up near a fireplace and enjoy this delicious keto treat.
