Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado
(or 2 tablespoons avocado oil or grass-fed butter) - 2 tablespoons brown sugar sweetener
- 1 large pasture-raised egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons 5% cream or almond milk
Dry Ingredients
- ¼ cup (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1–2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ carrot, finely shredded
Tip: Set aside a small amount of the shredded carrot to use later as a garnish on the icing.
Instructions
Lightly spray two microwave-safe mugs with avocado or olive oil spray.
Add the following ingredients to a mini chopper or small blender:
- avocado
- brown sugar sweetener
- egg
- vanilla
- cream or almond milk
Blend until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients:
- protein powder
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- shredded carrot
Blend briefly until a smooth batter forms.
Divide the batter evenly between the two mugs.
Microwave one mug cake for about 1½–2 minutes, depending on microwave strength.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before adding icing.
Notes
Baking Tip
You do not need to bake both mug cakes at the same time.
If you’re making this just for yourself:
- Bake one mug cake
- Cover the remaining batter and place it in the refrigerator
- Bake the second mug cake fresh the next day
This keeps the cake fresh and prevents the texture from drying out.
Recipe 2 — Cream Cheese Icing
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener
Instructions
Add the cream cheese and powdered sweetener into a small bowl.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
You can prepare the icing while the cake is cooking in the microwave, so it is ready to spread as soon as the cake finishes baking.
Garnish
Spread the cream cheese icing over the warm mug cake and sprinkle the reserved shredded carrot over the top for a classic carrot cake finish.
For a Double Layer Cake
If you stack both mug cakes to create a small double-layer carrot cake, simply double the icing recipe so there is enough frosting for the middle layer and the top.
