Vanilla coconut mug cake is so easy!
Everybody needs a dessert that they can whip up on a whim! Vanilla coconut mug cake is the perfect anytime dessert because it can be made in under ten minutes. The result is a bowl of delicious cakey goodness that you will enjoy right down to the very last spoonful. There's just nothing else like it! I mean, where else can you find an amazing keto dessert recipe that can be made in just ten minutes? Freshly baked cake in under ten minutes?!? Seems impossible!
Not only is the dessert simple and low carb, but it also has absolutely no sugar! Instead, all of that sweetness you taste comes from powdered erythritol. It's a natural sugar alcohol and also has zero calories. Whether you're following the keto diet or simply want to watch your sugar intake, adding erythritol instead of regular sugar makes it all possible. The powdered texture absorbs into the other ingredients immediately, leaving no grainy texture behind. The sweetness compliments the coconut taste perfectly and you will quickly see why powdered erythritol is an ingredient you should always have in your cabinet.
Vanilla coconut mug cake offers the right amount of sweetness coupled with the subtle flavors of coconut and vanilla. You won't be able to resist the blend of flavors in this incredible keto treat. Coconut extract has no carbs but is still packed with coconut taste. A little bit of this extract goes a long way! We have also used rum extract in place of the vanilla, making this mug cake taste like a coconut daiquiri! Extracts are a fantastic way to add extra flavor to any keto baked goods. There are so many kinds out there for you to try as well.
The cooking method on this recipe is such a breeze. You don't even have to turn on your oven! Instead, combine all the delicious ingredients into a mug and pop it into the microwave. Yes, it's really that simple. Who knew you could bake a cake in the microwave?! It really is the perfect way to quickly make a fresh cake and satisfy any craving you may have. Cooking time may vary depending on the strength of your microwave so always start with the lowest cooking time, check the cake, and then put it back in the microwave as needed.
This dessert is a great option for after school or work when you just need something to get your through until the next meal. However, it's certainly delicious enough that you can also prepare it for a group of people. No matter what you decide, serving up vanilla coconut mug cake is always a great idea! This versatile dish is great for any season and also works as a feel-good comfort food.
If you're searching for a simple and delicious low carb option, then this is the dessert that you've been waiting for. Whip it up this week and learn for yourself why so many people are calling this their favorite dessert.
