If you don’t want to use a microwave or don’t own a microwave, you can bake this keto chocolate cake in the oven. Place the ramekin on the middle rack of the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes. pulling a keto mug cake out of the oven with a white towel

  1. I was amazed by how moist the texture turned out even without eggs or flour. The quick prep time was a huge bonus for a busy evening treat.

  2. I was really impressed with how the cookie and heavy cream combo came together to form a real cake-like texture without needing any flour or eggs. I used the 4 Keto Double Chocolate Cookies as suggested and mashed them thoroughly with the cream until it looked like thick batter. I microwaved it for 65 seconds since I have a 1000 Watt microwave, and it puffed up just like a traditional cake and had a moist center. What really sold it was the glossy chocolate glaze made from the sugar free chocolate chips and coconut oil—it added a silky finish that made it feel like a rich dessert. This recipe actually makes keto feel indulgent.

  3. This was surprisingly good for how simple it was. I used Lily’s chocolate chips and it melted perfectly for the glaze.
