Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you’re all planning on spoiling your mother today…or at least get her some flowers if you won’t see her.  This dessert isn’t exactly a Mother’s Day dessert, unless your mom counts macros 😉 I made this recipe as one big mug cake in a soup-style mug, but you can easily split the recipe in two and make two smaller cakes.  One for you and one for your mom or special someone!

You may have noticed that the outside of the mug cake looks a little slick…well it’s because I tried to put the coconut cream frosting on when the cake was still piping hot right out of the microwave.  The big, delicious blob of frosting slid right off!  You won’t have that problem if you leave the cake inside the mug to eat it, but in case you do plan to put the cake on a plate, just let it cool down a bit before frosting it.

I used coconut cream as the base for my frosting in this cake because I generally try to avoid dairy now.  I can eat a little bit here and there, but my old ways of snacking on Greek yogurt are over 🙁  Buttttt….if you can eat dairy you could totally use some non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt instead of coconut cream if you’d like to save some fat macros and bump up your protein intake by a few grams.  Enjoy!

  • 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
