Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
This cake is quick and easy to make, perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth without breaking your keto diet. It uses simple ingredients and cooks in the microwave, saving time and effort. The combination of maple and vanilla flavors creates a comforting and delicious treat.
Directions
Pop the butter and cream cheese into a mug, then microwave it on high for about 1 minute and 20 seconds until everything’s melted together. Next, stir in the coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder until the batter is smooth and well mixed. Crack in the egg along with the maple and vanilla extracts, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mug so nothing gets left behind. Gently press some frozen raspberries into the batter. Finally, microwave it again on high for another 1 minute and 20 seconds, or until the cake feels set and cooked through. Let it cool for a minute or two before digging in!
