BEST Keto Lemon Mug Cake

The Greatest Keto Lemon Mug Cake you’ve ever had, in my opinion—and I’m the biggest fan of lemons—is this. I simply had to share right away.

In reality, sticking to a low-carb diet doesn’t require you to give up sweets; you just need to prepare them somewhat differently.
This is one of my current personal faves, and I know kids will adore it as well. The best part is that, while feeling like I’m breaking my plan, I actually am not!
You probably already have all of the components for this cake that you may anticipate finding in a ketogenic recipe.

This low-carb, keto-friendly mug cake makes one serving and takes less than two minutes to prepare in the microwave. It is bursting with lemon flavour.

These wonderful low-carb mug cakes are something I have been really enjoying making. When I created my cup cake cookbook a few years back, I thought I had tried every flavour combination imaginable for a typical mug cake. But low-carb mug cakes are a completely different realm, and this has really rekindled my drive to make new mug cakes.

FLOUR SUBSTITUTES WITH LOW CARB

Superfine almond flour and coconut flour are used to make this cake. This recipe only requires a very small amount of coconut flour, yet it is crucial to its success. I prefer cakes made with almond flour since I find that they turn out to be lighter and moister. But, a small amount of coconut flour is required to absorb the lemon juice.
