I have been searching for a great mug cake for months and this by far is the best one. I added some Lilys chocolate chips and liquified some power PB2, and I literally wept on my kitchen floor it was so good. Joe, you are the man! Staying in a calorie deficit never tasted so good.

[@neardeathexperience1111]

I giggled at the "wept on the kitchen floor" 🤣 I hear you ! Lol

[@hurcorh]

If you're not in a rush these always turn out better in the oven IMO. I did a vanilla based one with lemon zest and a few blueberries it's the best

[@IdratherbeinHobbiton]

What temp and for how long? . Also, could we make it in an air fryer? And again what temp and for how long?

Just made this recipe and I’m absolutely floored at how delicious this is. Now to top it off with a little halo top and I’ve got a dessert under 200 calories that tastes better than a bakery cake and for a fraction of the cost. Thank you so much for this video 👏

[@mistyhopeshoffner]

SO EXCITED to have found you!! I have a daughter with Type 1 (Juvenile Diabetes) who has struggled over 20 years- I just purchased your cookbook and believe this may be the answer to some of our prayers (finding a low carb/ sugar but still desirable options!). Thanks-your awesome!

[@hollyhock3945]

Pre-keto I always used unsweetened applesauce to replace the oil. Glad to see I can use it here again. It makes things so moist. Yum!

[@veebeetwo]

have to say that this recipe for a mug/ramekin cake is hands down THE best. I occasionally have a craving for something chocolatey and have tried so many recipes, only to be disappointed with the result. But I decided to give this one a go and boy am I glad I did! Only difference I made to my first try was to grate half a square of 100% dark chocolate into the batter. I did use the microwave and a ramekin, which led to an uneven cake, but it cooked for the 1 minute and was left to sit for another 5+, at which time it was perfect! Moist and delicious. Going to use the oven next time 😋

[@Rayh423]

Bro, I made it today in the oven and I added a piece of cream cheese to the mixture (for moisture) and at the 17 minute mark, I took it out and added a square of Lindt 95% cocoa (broken into small pieces) on top and then put it back in the oven for the last three minutes. Something so heavenly good and is good for you. I am making this every weekend just like the Blueberry Muffins.

[@TheDietChef]

Glad it was a hit Ray :)

[@Kroda-]

Niceee. If you're looking for it to be healthier, you can use yogurt or almond milk instead of cream cheese

[@w2gf]

I think more and more people on keto are starting to lean towards towards higher protein. When I started keto..everyone was telling me..."don't eat too much protein..it will kick you out of ketosis " I obeyed and paid for it. I have gone ketovore and mostly carnivore and am finally healing from all that went wrong with moderate protein keto diet. Recipie looks good.

[@OddsandSodsbyOkky]

Which one feels better for your body? I'm just starting it for 2 months and doing mostly the carnivore too. Really want to know your experience, thank you

[@Carol32547]

@@OddsandSodsbyOkky listen to your body. Strict keto did not agree with me. I am very active and was not getting enough protein. After being on strict keto for a year....losing hair..keto flu. after a year..for the first time in my life (age 60 at the time) I developed psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Very painful and itchy. Continued listening to Dr berg who did nothing for me. His two topical treatments for dermatitis made me worse and the one with basil oil and fkax seed oil burned me so bad I ended up in the ER. I then started reading and studying carnivore. I am currently starting my 4th week. My psoriasis is almost completely gone. Seborrheic dermatitis is about 80% gone. Rosacia is fighting but losing. Right now I am going total carnivore. I plan to introduce veggies as I heal. Be well

Yep, totally trying this tomorrow! You look great; the weight loss is obvious. Like so many others, I too am lowering fat and prioritizing protein, going for lean gains. (Also using Perfect Aminos, resistance training Doug McGuff style, and seeing good results at age 60.) Thanks for this recipe. I've been watching more anabolic videos and adjusting those recipes to lower the carbs and clean up the ingredients a bit. Looks like you are on this track. Love it!! I even have the applesauce on hand for another recipe that I haven't even tried yet. Also, sorry to hear that a certain person ripped off your recipe and published it as his own. That's just awful. Glad people have called him out on this.

[@sabinej.4934]

I did it with my fermented vegan protein powder and it worked really well! Since I didn't have cooking spray, I spreaded the rest of the egg throughout the recipient so the cake doesn't stick to it and it worked fine. Next time, I would personally choose to add baking soda cause my cake was too flat... Anyways, thank you very much for sharing and can't wait to see your other vids!

Outstanding! Made it with peanut butter chocolate protein powder sample. I’m gonna make this with other protein flavor when I have cravings for cake.
