Ingredients
Scale
Mug Cake
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp stevia powder blend (like Truvia)
Glaze
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp stevia powder blend
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp stevia powder blend
Instructions
- Make the cake: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the melted butter, almond flour, egg, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and stevia powder. Stir until you have a smooth batter without lumps, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Microwave: Cook the mug cake on high power for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The top of the cake should be set and springy to the touch when done; avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
- Add the glaze: In a small bowl, melt the butter, then stir in the ground cinnamon and stevia powder until combined. Pour this glaze evenly over the warm cake while it’s still in the mug for the sweetest flavor infusion.
- Top it off: Soften the cream cheese until smooth, then mix it with stevia powder. Swirl this frosting on top of the glazed cake for that authentic cinnamon roll finish. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- This recipe is designed for one serving but can be easily doubled or tripled by using larger mugs and adjusting microwave time accordingly.
- Almond flour helps keep this recipe keto-friendly; do not substitute with regular flour if maintaining low carb is important.
- Use a microwave-safe mug to ensure even cooking and safety.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the stevia amounts slightly to taste.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute butter and cream cheese with non-dairy versions, but note the nutritional profile will change.
