**This recipe counts as TWO servings.**

For people not afraid of good fats, this is a low carb adaptation of a recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPITFIRE12 (http://bit.ly/zP70mt).
>I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour, one whole egg for the two egg whites, Truvia* for the sugar, heavy whipping cream for the skim milk, and coconut oil for the applesauce.

You might also try macadamia nut oil, if you prefer, without changing the carb count. This also switches much of the fat from saturated to monounsaturated. I prefer the coconut myself.

The original recipe had about 200 calories and more than 40 net carbs per serving.

This one clocks in at almost 400 calories but only 2.7 net carbs per serving.

-----

* If you want, you can use 8 packets of Truvia. I suggest using 4 and 4 of another type of sugar substitute because, in my experience, mixing sweeteners offers a rounder taste and a synergy (the combined effect of two together is greater than either individually; 1A+1B=3) not found when using a single type. IOW, using 4 + 4 makes it sweeter than using 8 of a single sweetener.Submitted by: NEWJOHN4NEWYEAR

Molten cake in a mug is a carb treat sometimes I just crave. It is not for the faint of heart and once you've tried it, you must be careful only to indulge when you have abstained for a while. Submitted by: ERIKAMILLER

I made up this mug cake today when I wanted to try making something chocolately for dessert out of bisquick. The result was a light and fluffy chocolate cake without the density of other mug cakes, and as a bonus it can be made in a normal sized mug. It's also very yummy when topped with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, caramel, or ice cream and chocolate chips can be added to the batter if you don't want to eat it plain.Submitted by: FLUFFYDOGLOVER

You will need a large coffee mug that is Microsafe. This had a lot of calories so needs adjust to bring calorie count down. This the actual recipe I received. Submitted by: NANA4EVERY1

(no ratings)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.  Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. 
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ? 
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! Submitted by: ANEWCARI
