Low Carb Dalgona Mug Cake
Delicious chocolate mug cake made with unsweetened chocolate, sweetener, almond flour, and egg. The resulting cake is so luxurious and fudgy! The most wonderful part is it all can be made in one coffee mug. Be careful not to overcook this mug cake, 50-60 seconds is plenty of time. If it looks a little undercooked, allow it to sit at room temperature because it will continue to cook. However, if you are impatient (like me) enjoy it right away when it is the fudgiest. The finished cake is topped with a fluffy dalgona topping so you can eat cake and have coffee for breakfast at the same time!
What kind of chocolate should I use?
Please use unsweetened chocolate and use the sweetener to sweeten the chocolate. You can also use stevia-sweetened chocolate but decrease the amount of sweetener in the recipe by half.
How do I make the dalgona coffee?
You will whip equal amounts of instant coffee and boiling water together to stiff peaks and that is all there is to it. If you want to sweeten the dalgona whip, incorporate a little sweetener before whipping.

Looks like the sugar alcohols is the reason for the high carbs, but those and the fiber are subtracted to get the net carbs.
