It's my #birthday week! I had to cancel my trip to #Belize due to the #coronavirus and #socialdistancing limits my ability to celebrate my birthday with family and friends. However, I still remain optimistic. I get to celebrate another year and me, my family and friends are healthy. To kickoff my birthday celebrations, I felt it would be fitting to feature a dessert this week.
I LOVE mug cakes. The recipes are super simple and it takes less than 5 minutes. All you need is a microwave safe mug and a microwave. Who doesn't love that?! The coconut mug cake recipe calls for some of my go-to ingredients- coconut flour, ghee, and monkfruit sweetener. This cake is so moist because the coconut flour is very absorbent. I also love the coconut flakes are mixed in the batter, which gives a nice, refreshing taste. Garnish with whipped or ice cream and fresh fruit!
Can't wait to get your reactions to this recipe. Stay safe and happy savoring!
