Strawberry Cream Cheese Mug Cake

Mug cakes allow you to make a quick sweet treat to help you stay in ketosis. The dry ingredients can be put together in advance ( stored in a Ziplock snack bag) so you cake make a mug cake quickly anytime you need something sweet. This also makes these portable. You can take them to work or to a friends house. I take them to church for Wednesday night’s Fellowship dinner and simply microwave and serve.
