Notes/Tips
- Make single-serving Chocolate Keto Mug cake ahead of the party time! If you are having dinner guests over, just mix up a few small mugs of chocolate mug cake so when the meal is over you'll be able to serve up some warm chocolate cake in minutes!
- If you prefer a fudgier cake try microwaving for slightly fewer seconds.
- This recipe calls for pink Himalayan pink salt for added minerals and nutrients. If don’t have Himalayan pink salt you can use kosher salt, and if you don't have that, regular table salt will work.
- Wait at least 3 minutes before eating because the chocolate chips will be hot.
- The sweetener in this recipe only counts as 12 grams of carbs. But the CH includes some carbs made of real sugars. If you have a sensitivity to sugar you may want to choose to use Swerve or another substitute sweetener. Replacement would be 2 tablespoons of Swerve, and 24 grams of carbs.
- Not following a Keto Diet? You can use granulated sugar instead of a sugar substitute.
