Keto chocolate cake variation ideas:
- Try using keto friendly peanut butter chips for a decadent chocolate peanut butter cake. The combination is so delicious.
- Top with berries or mix in berries before cooking for something different. We like raspberries and strawberries.
- Use sugar free dark chocolate chips in the recipe.
- Dairy-free. Use vegan or dairy free butter instead of butter in this recipe. It will still taste delicious but allow an easy dairy free option.
- Sweetener. Try monk fruit sweetener, xylitol or erythritol.
- Coconut Flour. This is another option to try with low net carbs and this Keto Coconut Flour mug cake is a great option if you’re not a fan of chocolate.

Pro Tips
- We used a 14 oz mug for this recipe and it worked perfectly.
- We had plenty of room at the top so I think a 12 oz mug would have worked great too. Either size should be suitable.
- Just make sure the mug that you use is microwave safe.
- Don’t skip the baking powder, You need a leavening agent in this recipe so that it will rise.
- Cooking times may vary based on individual microwave ovens.
- You can make this into 2 smaller desserts. Just split the cake mixture between 2 ramekins or small bowl before microwaving.
