Lemon blueberry low-carb mug cake… exactly what you need when cake cravings strike. And who doesn’t have a cake craving practically every other day???
But when you’re trying to eat healthily and trying to reduce carbs, you need a satisfying and just-as-delicious-as-the-real-deal cake.
This is especially true when you’re cutting out regular flour and sugar. You know, the stuff the delicious cakes you grew up with were made of.
Tell me something…
Are you the type that will eat an entire 8” round cake if it’s sitting in front of you? It’s okay, I won’t tell anybody. ?
I’ve been known to do something like that before. It’s like there’s a part of you that won’t stop until there’s no more left. And cake is just so irresistible!
So, the cure is making this cake that you can eat entirely in one sitting without any guilt. You can inhale this one if you want to. Though I personally recommend you savor every single bite.
It’s a single mug serving with organic blueberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It’s sugar-free and gluten-free (ultra-processed regular flour free).

You said in the instructions to microwave 80 MINUTES. Did you mean seconds.
Hi Dottie, you’re correct! It’s 80 seconds, not 80 minutes. I’ve made the corrections in the post. Thank you for asking!
