Step 1
Start by popping the butter and cream cheese into a mug and microwaving it on high for about 1 minute and 20 seconds, until they're soft and melty. Stir in the coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder until everything is well mixed. Next, crack in the egg along with the maple and vanilla extracts, making sure to scrape down the sides so nothing is left unmixed. Gently press some frozen raspberries into the batter for a burst of flavor. Microwave the mug again on high for another 1 minute and 20 seconds, or until the cake feels set and cooked through. Let it cool for a minute before digging in!

How to serve
Enjoy it warm right out of the mug for a cozy dessert. Add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to enhance the flavor and texture.
Storage & leftovers
This mug cake is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave before serving to restore its soft texture.
