Description

A quick and delicious gluten-free carrot cake baked in a mug. Perfect for a sweet treat anytime!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cups (60 ml) finely shredded carrot
  • 1 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Put the coconut oil in the mug and microwave for 15-20 seconds until melted.
  2. Add the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon to the mug and stir.
  3. Add the orange juice, vanilla extract, egg, honey, and finely shredded carrot; mix well.
  4. Add the raisins and chopped nuts.
  5. Microwave for 2½ to 3 minutes, or until the cake has risen, the top is fully cooked, and no longer wet to the touch.
  6. Serve topped with coconut cream.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of honey.
  • If you don’t have coconut flour, you can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose blend, but the texture may be slightly different.
  • Let the mug cake cool slightly before adding coconut cream to prevent it from melting.
