COCONUT LEMON MUG CAKE TIPS

This mug cake could easily be shared between two people at a pinch, but really it’s meant for one. It’s just too irresistible to share!

This recipe uses certified organic coconut flour. If you don’t use certified organic coconut flour you may need to add a little less flour.

When you zest the lemons do not remove the pitH underneath the yellow rind as it will make your cake taste very bitter.

Always microwave your cake in a Pyrex jug. During the cooking process it almost triples in size, however after about one minute it will start to deflate slightly. This cooking process is completely normal and happens because there is a natural reaction between the lemon and the baking powder. Never be tempted to put the batter in a mug because the batter will spillover.
