Keto mug cake is a low-carb version of regular chocolate cake, similar to this version of low-carb keto chocolate chip cookies that’s perfect for a low carb diet. This chocolate cake recipe is made with coconut flour and cocoa powder, so it has no sugar or gluten. This single serve cake comes in at 17 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fiber. That gives this mug cake a 10 net carbs total.
What Is Coconut Flour?
Coconut flour is a low-carb alternative to traditional wheat flour which makes it great for the keto diet. It contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) which have been linked to weight loss. MCTs are quickly metabolized and turned into energy rather than being stored as fat. Coconut flour also doesn’t contain gluten or sugar.

How to Store Leftovers
While this is considered to be a single serving, sometimes, this cake might be more than you want to eat at one time or you simply get full. If you find that you have leftovers of the cake, you can wrap the mug tightly. You can leave the cake sitting at room temperature for a day or two or even store it in the refrigerator.
Reheating Leftovers
This cake will always taste best when it is made fresh. If you find that you have leftovers, you might want to reheat it give that fresh from the oven taste. You can reheat it in the microwave. Start at 30 seconds and if you want it warmer, you can always heat if or longer. Overheating can result in dryness.
If you are reheating the microwave mug cake and it does dry out, adding whipped cream or keto ice cream can help.
