@@HighfalutinLowCarb I had a shoulder replacement - no choice, had a bad fall, broke the top of my arm bone badly. If your father opts for this surgery, make sure he follow through with the physical therapy. It's not hard, but most people don't do it. You stick with it - and your range of motion improves - and I have great range of motion. That arm is not as strong as it was, especially, say, pulling something heavy off a high shelf (I can do it - just have to be very careful). I wish him good luck with this. (My shoulder is sometimes sore, but I'm very active - yardwork, firewood hauling, computer use, and so on. Overall I'm not in pain, and much of the day I have no idea I have the prosthetic shoulder (metal) in there - it just doesn't occur to me. Now, any surgery is a risk - he of course needs to pay attention to what his doctors say and not some person on the internet like me. But there is a chance - if he needs this to end arthritis pain - that it will work).

Bless you Wes. You have changed our lives. I've been on a ketogenic diet for six years and now, because of you, I can eat delicious variants of all the foods we grew up with. Bought your book (which is great by the way), one of your aprons and a coffee cup to spread the word at work. You have done more to help us stay ketogenic and thusly had a more positive impact on human health than all major medical associations are research institutions. I am a research scientist with colleagues at these institutions and with due respect they are way behind the low-carb learning curve. I haven't felt this healthy and satisfied for almost fifty years (I"m 60, 6'2", 165 lbs and no inflammation). Again, bless you Wes.

Cocoa powder is hard to mix in because it’s hydrophobic. It’s best to either use a small amount of water to make a paste before incorporating it with liquids or to mix it with the fat into a paste. Another option is to make the batter in its entirety before adding the cocoa powder and it will mix together but there can be cocoa powder balls if it’s not mixed well.

This is what I used: 3 tbs almond flour, 1/2 tbs egg white protein powder, 1 tbs sweetener blend, 1/4 tsp BP, 1 tbs SF vanilla pudding mix, (whisk dry together). Wet ingredients: 1 large egg, 1 tbs vanilla extract, 1 tbs melted unsalted butter, 2 tbs sour cream and whisk. combine dry into wet slowly whisking in the dry ingredients until a smooth batter. Pour into a greased high mug and microwave 90-100 seconds depending on microwave. ( I have an low wattage Ikea microwave so mine takes almost double the time)

I usually do a batter that makes 2 mug cakes.....as I find one egg makes it quite eggy for a single. I had to make something that could mimic moist boxed cakes. in a bowl....blend 3 tbs almond flour 1 tsp sweetener (I blend Allulose with erythritol) 1 tsp egg white protein 1 tsp sugar free vanilla pudding powder 1/4 tsp baking powder wet....in a bowl with lip 1 large beaten egg 1 tbs sour cream 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 tbs melted butter (use a little to grease tall cups) Mix wet together...gradually add dry. divide batter into two greased tall cups. (it will rise high before settling) microwave separately for 90 seconds each depending on microwave. those suckers will slip right out once slightly cooled. it can keep in the freezer once cooled. **** i usualy make whip cream in my nutribullet and dice strawberries with a pinch of sweetener. cut cakes in layers with berries and cream in and on top. Makes a great trifle with strawberry jelly, sugar free pudding and whip cream.

I don't experience the eggy flavor in things, I do experience the eggy texture, for example, I hate quiche or baked egg cups. My understanding is what causes the eggy flavor is the yolk. Possibly try replacing a whole egg with carton egg whites (or find recipes that use up the yolk(s). One whole large egg is 3 Tbs, 2 of those are the egg white and 1 is the yolk. So, if one wanted to replace a whole egg with just egg whites, try using 3 Tbs of white, or just have it less lofty and use 2 Tbs of egg white.

As an older baker from way back, first mix all dry ingredients together. Whip the eggs and then slowly whip in the melted butter. Then combine together.

I see a lot of people have been commenting on your appearance. You have ALWAYS been adorable and engaging but they're right - you're looking pretty darn spicy! Good job! It's great motivation for people new to lo-carb diets to see even though we get older we can actually look better if we stick to it! Thanks for your hard work!

Instead of a whole egg I replace it with 3 Tbsp liquid egg whites which so whisk a bit. It gives the mug cake the lift and fluffiness the egg brings to the party WITHOUT the egg yolky taste. Hope you try it sometime .

There’s a recipe that has a bit of mayo and it is so moist that is the one I use and super good

Looking good, Wes! Thanks for this. Cake is my weakness but mug cakes just don’t do it. I’m definitely trying the 1st one, though.

I just made the chocolate without the chocolate chips. Hands down, this is the best mug cake I've ever eaten!!!! I used Allulose instead of Swerve. I will definitely make this again!!! Thank you for sharing her website!!

Holy cow Wes, you look fabulous……not that you weren’t a cheeky lad before! The format on updated recipes is great. I’ve done Keto for years & just finished a 90 day Carnivore challenge over the holidays. Seems brown butter bites are the new thing so maybe make a couple batches using different flavorings (cinnamon, peppermint, almond etc).

Thanks so much! And congrats on your success, too! I haven’t been “brave” enough to try carnivore yet, but curious how my body will handle it. I’ll report back if I do!

I like that you're outspoken and honest about the results! You don't get that with everybody. I love eggs and that eggy flavor so please try an egg custard mug cake. Thank you

Thanks for the new comparison! I'm glad there is a coconut flour version for the first cake since those of us with problems with nuts would otherwise be out of luck. I do like (and very much need) the inherent portion control of mug cakes. These recipes use the ingredients of old so it not surprising you encountered many of the same issues. As you know you are not a fan of inappropriately eggy things, please look for recipes that use only egg whites for lift - as I have gotten there too with regards to eggs in terms of taste and texture! It would be great to really test recipes that use more recently embraced/available ingredients like allulose, lupin flour, egg white powder, tara gum, acacia fiber, glucomannan, inulin with yeast/proofing, and different protein powders (whey, casein, plant).

If you need a good easy dessert get some rebel ice cream. Holy moly that stuff is good. Mug cakes are so disappointing and not worth it. Just make any dessert from All day I dream about food. She’s got it figured out as far as keto desserts. Caroline’s cookbook is really worth it. She’s got it linked on her channel (all day I dream about food).

I made her morning glory muffins and ate it like a shark in a feeding frenzy. So good, but I couldn’t stop.
