In reply to Patricia Gustafson. It's an accurate amount for covering both cakes and having some in the center as well. You can always make half and see if that's enough for you.

In reply to TammyZ. The cream cheese icing seems to be for something much bigger than a mug cake, how much of it do I use and is the rest storable and for how long. Cant wait to try this.

I see in some recipes you use 7 ounce and some 8 ounce ramekins. Can I use one or the other for your recipes? I don’t want to buy both sizes if I don’t have to. Thanks! I LOVE your recipes and can’t wait to try these too.

In reply to TammyZ.

I also use cronometer — have been for years — so make sure you have the setting clicked where it subtracts sugar alcohols.
You can find that under “Settings”, then “trackings” then there is an option of “Tracking carbohydrates as…” with a drop down. One of the choices is “net carbs without sugar alcohols”. Otherwise, it counts those as carbs.

In reply to TammyZ. If you're including Swerve into the count it will be off if you haven't subtracted the sugar alcohols from it. Swerve has little to no effect on blood sugar and I do not calculate it into the recipe as many other low carb bloggers do not as well.

I can’t seem to get the same net carbs as you list. My macro calculation in Cronometer when I import all ingredients come out to 23.8g total carbs – 7.3g dietary fiber & 3.2g sugar =13.3g net carbs. That’s way off from your 1.5g net. HELP!! I used the same brand of flaxseed meal and swerve. Different coconut flour (Nutiva but still 3 net carbs per 2 tbsp as is the Bob’s you used). I am saying this is 4 servings/cake as you listed.

I made the cake and it was AMAZING. I would prob use less swerve, as I found it pretty sweet. BUt the texture was spot on, and it was so fast to make. I freaking love you, and am so grateful for the recipe!

In reply to Sue. No I would probably say 45 minutes but I would check with a toothpick in center at 30 minutes just to be on the safe side.

Looks delicious ! I’d like to try it for my daughter’s second birthday cake.
How much time cooking time do I need if I double the ingredients (eg automatically double to 30 min)?

In reply to Darcy Fitzpatrick. I've not tried subbing almond flour for the flax here, sorry.
