It didn't fail!

I've tried keto mug cake/bread before. It so didn't work for me. I always ended up with a tasteless brick. Today, I finally managed to make a proper one, turned it into 4 slices, one of which never made it into the airfryer for toasting, because I ate it.

That stuff tastes good!

Couldn't've done it without your help, @briped . Not to mention the emotional support after the butter exploded in my microwave.

 

The rookworst was my own little experiment.... It was rather good! (But then, it's rookworst. Unox, of course. ).

The secret: Mix the dry ingredients and add the wet later.

15 g of melted butter

22 g of almond flour

½ a teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix.

Then add an egg and mix.

Microwave at highest W for 90 seconds. Done.​

....And she told me after the butter fiasco, that it doesn't have to be quite melted, just soft is fine too. 20 seconds on 250 watt would've been quite sufficient. I set it to full blast for 30 seconds, haha. And blast it did! I had some as-is, but toasted the rest and put some butter on. With all the butter I had today I'm bound to feel it in my joints by the evening (my rheumatism doesn't like milkproducts), but it was worth it! And it's something I can do every now and again.

 

@Antje77 , a little PS: I don't know whether making it in an Efteling mug made the taste even better, but... I made it in an Efteling mug.

 

I didn't. I just shook it a little and it came free. Stood up nice & straight, steaming that wonderfully smelling steam.

I have a lot of mugs. One with an Alice Cooper album cover (you're a fan or you're not, right? ), one with "Where There is Tea, There is Love", and of course "Keep Calm and Carry On", which I kept reminding myself of when I was just diagnosed. Oh, and one with "Shut Up, I'm Writing". I wonder whether that's a Dutch thing or whether people all over have mugs that suit their personalities. Rather than having one in the office that is distinctly yours, I mean. But yeah.... I think I have about 12 Efteling mugs. Obsessive? Nah.

 

I have no idea. But you just explained why my mom-in-law is such a horrible baker. (Her parents had a bakery.).

 

I just stirred it in with the same teaspoon I used for the baking powder. Said powder will take care of the fluffiness. (It wasn't anything like my usual bricks! )

 

I think I am, after today, brave enough to give that a go, the next time I make one.

 

That's the plan. But i wanted to do it according to the proper recipe once, see whether it would finally work... I'll go from there. My husband just had a good laugh when I showed him the pic with the toasted slices covered in a thick layer of butter. I figured, if I'm going to be hurting, I'm going to make it count, haha. And he said "So you figure, I'm gonna climb a hill, might as well do the Everest instead?" *grin* But it was really, really worth it.

 

I just got mine at the Jumbo... It is pricey, but one small baggy goes a long way.
