Time For the Tips!
- Premium Almond Flour: Prioritize using premium almond flour. For low-carb cake recipes that stay true to the original recipe’s soft texture and flavor, almond flour is your best bet. If you pick a decent one, the outcome will blow your mind.
- Butter is essential: Keto cup sweets wouldn’t be the same without butter, which adds moisture and flavor. Melted coconut oil or dairy-free butter can be used in its place if desired.
- Make your dessert unique: If you want to spice things up, try adding some peanut butter, walnuts, pecans, or keto chocolate chips to the dough.
- Avoid Overcooking: Be cautious not to boil it for too long. To test the texture, heat for 45 seconds in the microwave. If it’s still raw, give it another 10–20 minutes in the microwave, but don’t cook it any longer. Overcooking mug cakes causes them to become dry.
- Consume instantly: Warm it up before plating. Indulge in your low-carb cupcake immediately after preparation for the softest and moistest texture. Without or with additional toppings.
