    Skinny-Chocolate Mug Cake

    Sep 30, 2013 ·

    Cake this Recipe
    My daughter found a delicious mug cake recipe on Pinterest a few months ago and loves how fast she can mix, bake and enjoy a sweet treat. I love it too, but I don't like the calorie count, so I've come up with a recipe that lowers the calorie count. In place of the sugar I used monk fruit sweetener. This is a new sweetener on the market made from vine-ripened monk fruit and it has 0 calories. Monk fruit is native to southern People's Republic of China and is used for medicinal purposes, as well as a sweetener. Read more about monk fruit here.
    Before adding the whip topping, using traditional sugar the calorie count is 702 calories, the skinny version has a calorie count of 444.
    Cake
    I used Reddi Wip to top it off, it's only 15 calories per serving, the calorie count with the whip cream is 459.

      I love fast and easy desserts. Even better that it's chocolate. I haven't heard of monk fruit sweetener yet, I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
