Carnivore Mug Cake Recipe

🥚🧈 Carnivore Mug Cake (Ready in 2 Minutes)

🧾 Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp butter (plus more for greasing)
• 1 tbsp cream cheese OR mascarpone (optional, for creaminess)
• 1 tbsp unflavored collagen powder or whey isolate (optional for texture/protein boost)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional (if relaxed carnivore):
  • 1–2 drops vanilla extract
  • Few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit
  • 1 tsp grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella (yes, it works!)

🔥 Instructions:

1. Grease a Mug:
   • Use butter or beef tallow to lightly coat the inside of a microwave-safe mug.
2. Mix:
   • In a small bowl, whisk the egg, softened butter, and cream cheese until smooth.
   • Stir in collagen/whey if using. Add a pinch of salt.
   • Mix until well combined — batter should be thick but pourable.
3. Microwave:
   • Pour into the greased mug.
   • Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds. Check doneness — it should puff up and set but still be moist.
4. Cool Slightly & Serve:
   • Let it rest for 1 minute.
   • Eat directly from the mug or invert it onto a plate.
   • Top with whipped cream (from heavy cream) or a dollop of mascarpone if desired.

🧈 Variations:

• Cheesecake Style: Use 2 tbsp cream cheese and no collagen; top with whipped cream.
• Savory Version: Skip any sweetener or vanilla, and add a sprinkle of salt and cheese for a cheesy “bread-like” mug cake.
• Keto-carnivore twist: Add a bit of cocoa powder (if you’re flexible).
