Sugar Free 3 Minute Lemon Mug Cake

An easy mug cake that is sugar free.
Prep Time1 minute
Cook Time1 minute
Total Time3 minutes
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • Butter- 2 tablespoons.
  • Flour AP (or similar alternative such as low carb carbalose flour or this gluten-free all purpose flour.- 4 tablespoons.
  • Baking Powder- ¼ teaspoon.
  • Sugar Alternative- 2 tablespoons equivalent to sugar.
  • Milk- 1 tablespoon.
  • Egg yolk- 1 can sub in an alternative that is equivalent.
  • Lemon extract- 1 teaspoon can use other extract instead.

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe mug, melt your butter (should take less than a minute on high- check after 30 seconds). I like to loosely place a microwave- safe paper towel over this to prevent splattering.
  • To the mug, add the flour, baking powder, sugar alternative and milk. Stir this with a fork.
  • Now add the remaining ingredients and gently stir until blended.
  • Microwave for one minute. If the cake sides do not appear to be separating from the mug, then microwave for another 15-30 seconds. A sign that this cake is done in the microwave will be that the sides of the cake are separating from the mug. The cake may still be baking on the inside after microwaving as this is the nature of microwave cooking. Thus, allow the cake to cool before serving.
