Ingredients

2 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla or chocolate protein powder (20g)

1 Tbsp coconut flour (7g)

1 Tbsp cocoa powder (5g)

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp Swerve granular sweetener (or sweetener of choice)

3 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce (45g)

2 Tbsp almond milk (30g)

1 Tbsp egg whites (15g)

1/4 tsp red food coloring

2 Tbsp Betty Crocker Whipped Frosting

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)

1 ½ tsp Swerve granular sweetener (or other sweetener of choice)

1 tsp sugar-free Jello pudding mix (3g) (I used the white chocolate flavor)

2 Tbsp whipped cream cheese (21g)

2 Tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt (30g)

1 ½ tsp Swerve granular sweetener (or other sweetener of choice)

1 tsp sugar-free Jello pudding mix (3g) (I used the white chocolate flavor to keep it more white)

Directions

Red Velvet Mug Cake:

In a microwave-safe bowl (I used a flat 16-oz ceramic dish), add the protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa flour, baking powder, and sweetener. Whisk until dry ingredients are mixed well and there are no clumps.

Add the applesauce, almond milk, egg whites, and red food coloring. Stir until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.

Microwave, in 30 second intervals, for 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until desired consistency. Make sure to watch! If you are using a taller mug or more narrow bowl, it is more likely to overflow. For a more gooey cake, microwave closer to a minute. For a cooked through cake, microwave closer to a minute and a half to 2 minutes.

Take out and let cool completely. Place in the fridge for an hour or in the freezer for 10 minutes if you want the cake to be chilled (how I prefer it!) or enjoy at room temperature.

Top with one of the frostings above, chocolate chips, or any other topping of your choice, if desired, and enjoy!

For the Frostings:

For both of the homemade frostings, just combine ingredients! Store in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

Allow cake to cool completely before adding.
