Keto Tres Leches Mug Cake

I love mug cakes. They are the perfect keto treat with minimum effort and prep time. Keto mug cakes only takes about 3 minutes to prepare and you'll need just a few ingredients.

This recipe is based on my Red Velvet Keto Mug Cake which is soft and fluffy but not too dry. It doesn't taste eggy and it has just the right texture!

You'll be decorating it with the creamiest Tres Leches topping made with a combination of heavy whipping cream and my Keto Condensed Milk.

If you need to make this mug cake dairy-free, simply use coconut cream and my Dairy-Free Keto Condensed Milk to make the topping, and then substitute the butter in the cake with coconut oil.

Keep in mind that this keto recipe makes a generous mug cake so feel free to either make smaller mug cakes, or serve just half mug cake if the whole mug cake is too much for you.

If you love easy keto treats, make sure to check out my mug muffins and mug cakes. Chocolate, vanilla, coconut, berry, orange, chocolate chip, brownie — there's a low-carb mug cake for everyone!

Step-by-step

1. In a bowl, heat the almond milk and add the butter. Let it melt.

2. Place all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.

   

3. In another bowl, beat melted butter and almond milk and with the eggs.

   

4. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.

   

5. Divide the batter between two mugs or coffee cups and microwave on high for 90 seconds, or longer until cooked through in the middle. If still raw in the middle, add another 30 to 60 seconds to the cooking time.
   Tips for cooking in the oven: If you don't have a microwave, I suggest you make 4-8 servings at once. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional) and cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked in the centre.

   

6. Let the mug cakes cool down.

   

7. While they are cooling down, prepare the frosting. Place the condensed milk, cream and vanilla in a bowl.

   

8. Beat until stiff peaks form.

   

9. Make sure the cakes are fully cooled before frosting. Place the frosting in a piping bag and pipe on top or simply use a spoon and spread on top of each mug cake.

   

10. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
