Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s gather our ingredients. This recipe is designed for two servings and utilizes simple, wholesome ingredients to keep it low-carb and gluten-free.
For the Mug Cake:
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia
- Natural red food coloring
For the Sugar-Free Buttercream Frosting:
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Monk Fruit Allulose confectioners
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed, coconut flour, cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder. This will be the base of your dry mix, ensuring the cake has a consistent texture and rich flavor.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, vanilla liquid stevia, and a few drops of natural red food coloring. Whisk these ingredients until they are well mixed. The red food coloring will give your cake its iconic red velvet hue, so feel free to adjust the amount to your preference.
Step 3: Combine and Prepare
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth and well-combined batter. This batter should be luscious and slightly thick, perfect for pouring into ramekins.
Step 4: Cooking Options
Grease two 7-ounce quiche ramekins and evenly distribute the batter between them. You have two options for cooking:
Microwave Method: Cook each ramekin one at a time in the microwave for 1 minute. Check the center with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, continue cooking in 30-second intervals, checking each time.
Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the ramekins for about 15 minutes. Use the toothpick test to ensure they are cooked through.
Step 5: Cool and Frost
Allow the cakes to cool slightly. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting by beating the softened butter, heavy cream, and Monk Fruit Allulose confectioners until smooth and creamy. Once the cakes are cool, generously frost each one as desired.
