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
  1. Coat two coffee mugs with cooking spray so the cake won’t stick to it.
  2. In a bowl mix all the cake ingredients until they’re a smooth
  3. Put half of the cake batter in each coffee mug and microwave on high one at a time for 2 minutes
  4. Put a plate over the coffee mugs and turn the mugs upside down. The cake will fall out.
  5. Take the icing ingredients (below) and warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds
  6. Stir the frosting ingredients until they’re smooth
  7. Cut eat of the cakes in half
  8. Put icing on the top of the bottom half and place the top half on top of the icing
  9. Ice the top of the cake
  10. Garnish plate and top of cake with an additional grated baby carrot (optional)
  11. 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.
