How to Make Low Carb Microwave Peanut Butter Cake
Step 1. Melt butter and peanut butter in the microwave.
Step 2. Mix almond flour, erythritol, stevia, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Step 3. Mix dry ingredients with melted butter. Add eggs and stir until smooth.
Step 4. Afterward, add water so you get a nice smooth batter.
Step 5. Spray some oil over the form and pour in the batter. Microwave for 6-7 minutes at 800 watts.
Get a toothpick and start checking whether it’s cooked after around 5 minutes. All microwaves are different and it might take a longer/shorter amount of time to bake based on wattage.
Step 6. To serve: cut the cake into 9 squares. Feel free to bit of whipped cream.
Can I Turn This Into a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake?
Yes, you certainly can do that. To do this, just add 2 – 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Unsweetened cocoa powder, unlike sweetened cocoa powder, is low in net carbs. One tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder contains only 1.3 grams of net carbs.
So, turning this recipe into a chocolate peanut butter cake would add less than 0.5 grams of net carbs per serving. It would also add some selenium and some more manganese to your cake.
