Ingredients
Scale
Mug Cake
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp stevia powder blend (like Truvia)
Glaze
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp stevia powder blend
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 oz cream cheese
- ½ tsp stevia powder blend
Instructions
- Make the cake: In a microwave-safe mug, combine the melted butter, almond flour, egg, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and stevia powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The cake is done when the top is set and no longer wet to the touch.
- Add the glaze: In a small bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the ground cinnamon and stevia powder. Pour this fragrant glaze evenly over the warm cake to infuse it with extra flavor and moisture.
- Top it off: Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature, then mix it with the stevia powder until creamy. Swirl this frosting on top of the glazed cake to create the classic cinnamon roll finish.
Notes
- Make sure to use a microwave-safe mug to prevent any hazards.

- Use full-fat cream cheese and butter for best flavor and texture suitable for keto.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with keto-friendly non-dairy alternatives.
- This recipe is for a single serving, but ingredients can be multiplied for more servings.
