🍽 What you need

You do need a microwave for this recipe, although I bet you could use oven-safe ramekins and bake it at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I haven't tried it yet but I'll report back when I do.

Also, you don't need to make this recipe in a mug, even if you have a microwave. You can use a ramekin either way. I would use at least 6 oz. ramekins to make sure it doesn't overflow.

• ▢ 1 tbsp Erythritol
• ▢ 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
• ▢ 1 tsp unsalted butter

Instructions

• Place butter into a ramekin or mug and melt the butter in the microwave. Swirl it around to coat the inside of the container. You can also use a cooking spray to grease the inside of the container if you prefer instead of butter.
• In a small bowl, mix together the beaten egg and the heavy whipping cream.
• Add vanilla and almond extracts to the egg mixture.
• In another small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, erythritol and baking powder, stir to combine well.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the greased ramekin or mug.
• Add the wet ingredients on top of the dry ones, and stir well with a spoon or fork until the mixture is smooth.
• Toss in the chocolate chips.
• Microwave for 90 seconds.
• Remove the ramekin or mug from the microwave after a minute, and either serve in the container, or dump out and serve on a plate of your choice.
• Optional: Crush up ¼ cup of raspberries if desired, and serve on top of the cake. 

Notes

Note: nutrition information does not include optional fresh raspberries.

This recipe comes to around 6 grams of net carbs. It may vary depending upon the specific products you use. It's also on the high end of what I consider keto but since it's a dessert, I think you have to assume it will be a bit higher in carbs than a non-dessert.
