Instructions
Step 1: Make the Mug Cake
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca starch, almond flour, baking power.
Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, tbsp of whisked egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Microwave for 60-90 seconds. Start checking at the 60-second mark—the cake should be set but not dry. Let it cool for a minute.
Step 2: Prepare the Frosting
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, powdered monk fruit sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add almond milk or water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3: Assemble and Decorate
Spread the frosting over the warm mug cake.
Top with sprinkles or a pinch of flake salt for added flair.
