Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the Mug Cake:
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and erythritol. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Add the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the cake has risen and is set in the middle. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so check at intervals.
- Let the mug cake cool for a minute or two. This helps the cake set and makes it easier to handle.
- Top with chopped strawberries and a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb strawberry shortcake mug cake!
Notes
For best results, enjoy immediately after preparing. You can substitute almond milk with any other preferred low-carb milk. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less erythritol.
