Fluffy Carnivore Mug Cake 🥚🧈
Soft, airy, and deeply satisfying — a zero-carb treat in minutes
Description
This Fluffy Carnivore Mug Cake is the ultimate quick comfort for anyone following a strict carnivore or zero-carb lifestyle. Made with simple animal-based ingredients, it delivers a surprisingly light and tender texture that feels like a cross between a cheesecake and a soufflé. There’s no flour, no sugar, and no sweeteners—just rich fats, protein, and pure satisfaction.
Thanks to the cream cheese, the cake has a gentle tang and creamy depth, while butter and heavy cream keep it moist and luxurious. The optional collagen powder or finely crushed pork rinds adds structure and fluffiness, helping the cake rise beautifully in the microwave without becoming rubbery. Best of all, it comes together in one mug and is ready in under two minutes, making it perfect for late-night cravings, quick breakfasts, or an easy dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp collagen powder or pork rind powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- Pinch of salt
Optional (still carnivore-friendly):
- A few drops vanilla extract
- Extra butter for topping
Instructions
- Add the egg, softened cream cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream to a microwave-safe mug.
- Whisk vigorously until completely smooth and lump-free. This step is key for a light texture.
- Stir in the collagen or pork rind powder, along with a pinch of salt.
- Microwave on HIGH for 60 seconds. Check the cake—if the center is still wet, microwave in 10–15 second intervals until just set.
- Let the mug cake rest for 30 seconds before eating. It will firm slightly while staying soft and fluffy.
