Best Chocolate Mint Keto Microwave Cake
Here is a delicious microwave dessert recipe that would be wonderful paired with any Keto microwave meal. This Keto microwave cake is made using high-quality organic dark cocoa powder, almond flour, and mint extract. We used coconut oil instead of butter to make this recipe dairy-free too. After the cake was fresh and hot from the microwave, we topped it with chilled organic coconut milk to cool it down, along with fresh mint to make it extra special.
How do I choose the right coconut milk for this recipe?
We used organic coconut milk that solidifies when chilled. Not all coconut milk will do this. So if you use a coconut milk brand and you know it doesn’t solidify well when chilled, you can always substitute the coconut milk for chilled coconut cream, which is thicker.
Do I have to use coconut in this recipe?
If you do not have coconut oil or coconut milk on hand. You can substitute coconut oil for butter, ghee, or even avocado oil. Coconut milk can be substituted for homemade whipped cream.
What are other variations I can make?
If you want to mix things up a bit, you can add sugar-free mint chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips to the batter! After the cake is cooked and topped with coconut milk, you can sprinkle on sugar-free sprinkles. The mint extract can be substituted for vanilla, almond, rum, or even banana extract!
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Keto mint flavored recipes like our The Best Peppermint Mocha Keto Coffee to make for a delicious afternoon treat.

Recipe Steps
steps 4
15 min
Step 1
First, combine the coconut oil and unsweetened baking bar (cut into small pieces) into a 12 oz microwave-safe coffee mug. Heat for 45 seconds on high in the microwave. Stir. Cook for another 15 seconds on high until completely melted. Stir again.Step 2
Add the sweetener, baking powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, and mint extract to the mug. Stir well with a spoon until the egg is fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth.Step 3
Microwave on high for 45 seconds to one minute. The goal here is to cook the cake just enough that it is still soft and not overcooked. If you like a cake that is gooey in the middle, opt for closer to 45 seconds. The exact length of time will depend on your microwave.Step 4
Remove the cake from the microwave and top with the chilled coconut milk and mint leaf. Enjoy!

It’s only 6.6 net carbs which is low. My dr says to track net carbs during keto so sugar alcohols and fiber get removed from the calculation.
