    The search for an amazing Paleo mug cake is over!  This easy, fluffy, delicious gluten-free mug cake is sure to become your favorite. And, it only takes a few minutes to make!

    When the craving for cake strikes, you won’t have to make a whole cake; just this sweet little mug cake!

    When a sweet craving strikes at 9:00 p.m., this is the recipe I go for.  The perfect size for a quick and easy, yet totally decadent single-size cake.

    I like to garnish my flourless mug cake with some dairy-free ice cream, or coconut whipped cream, berries, chocolate shavings.  The ideas are endless.

    How To Make A Paleo Mug Cake:

    Step 1 – Gather and measure the ingredients.

    Step 2 – In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk them together.  In another medium-sized mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients and whisk together.

    Step 3 – Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

    Step 4 – Pour the batter into a mug and microwave for about 60 seconds (time will vary depending on your microwave).  The top of the cake should be firm and a toothpick should come out clean.

    Step 5 – Add garnishes of your choice or eat just the way it is.

    Tips When Making A Paleo Mug Cake:

    • You could probably substitute maple syrup for coconut sugar, but I have not done this.
    • I have not tried this recipe without an egg.  The egg helps the Paleo mug cake rise and get fluffy.
    • You might be able to substitute almond meal for almond flour, but I have not done this.
    • Coconut flour is not an acceptable substitute for blanched almond flour.
    • This flourless mug cake can be baked in the oven in small ramekins – 350 degrees F. for about 10-15 minutes.
