Recipe type: Desserts
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of mashed banana
- 3 baby carrots, shredded (You can grate them or do this in a food processor)
- 4 tablespoons almond flour
- 4 teaspoons stevia (or Truvia…if you use packets, use four packets of Truvia)
- 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt (find one low in sugar)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- a pinch of baking powder
Instructions
- Coat two coffee mugs with cooking spray so the cake won’t stick to it.
- In a bowl mix all the cake ingredients until they’re a smooth
- Put half of the cake batter in each coffee mug and microwave on high one at a time for 2 minutes
- Put a plate over the coffee mugs and turn the mugs upside down. The cake will fall out.
- Take the icing ingredients (below) and warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds
- Stir the frosting ingredients until they’re smooth
- Cut eat of the cakes in half
- Put icing on the top of the bottom half and place the top half on top of the icing
- Ice the top of the cake
- Garnish plate and top of cake with an additional grated baby carrot (optional)
- Note: I am not a big fan of icing, so I didn’t ice the entire cake tower. There is probably enough to do that in the frosting part of the recipe. I found just putting a little icing on the bottom and top halves of the cake was more than enough.
