Step-By-Step Preparation Guide

Here's how to make your mug cake in a few simple steps:

  1. Grease your microwave-safe mug: Lightly coat the inside of your mug with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Melt the butter: Microwave it for 20-45 seconds until melted.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Stir in Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder, flour, baking powder, sweetener, and any spices until well combined.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the egg or egg white, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  5. Add the jam: Spoon your chosen jam into the center of the batter and gently press down.
  6. Microwave: Cook on high for 45-90 seconds, checking every 20-30 seconds until the top is just set.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let it cool briefly before enjoying directly from the mug or turning out and dusting with cinnamon sugar.

Why Use a Mug Instead of a Traditional Pan?

Using a mug for your microwave cake provides several advantages:

  • Speed: No need for preheating, so you can satisfy your cravings in just around 1 minute.
  • Single portion: Eliminates the hassle of slicing and serving while ensuring no leftovers go to waste.
  • Minimal cleanup: Since you mix and bake in the same mug, cleanup is a breeze.

Tips for Personalizing Your Doughnut Cake

Want to make this recipe your own? Here are a few creative tips:

  • Experiment with flavors: Switch up the protein powder flavor, try vanilla, chocolate, or even cinnamon.
  • Change the filling: Swap out the jam for nut butter, chocolate chips, or even fresh fruit for added texture.
  • Top it off: Adjust sweetness or add spices. Yogurt or whipped cream can make delightful toppings.

Nutritional Benefits of This Protein Cake

This protein mug cake not only tastes great but offers impressive nutritional benefits:

  • High protein: You can expect about 25–30g of protein with each serving, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.
  • Lower sugar and carbs: Using nut flours and low-calorie sweeteners helps reduce sugar and carb levels while incorporating healthy fats and fiber.

Enjoying the Perfect Weekend Brunch

This Protein Cake pairs wonderfully with:

  • A hot cup of coffee or your favorite herbal tea.
