Low Carb Dark Chocolate Mug Cake:

Ingredients for the Mug Cakes:

1 tablespoon melted salted butter
2 tablespoon Monkfruit Sugar Substitute
1/4 cup almond flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon freshly brewed coffee
1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Ingredients for the Whipping Cream:

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons monkfruit powdered sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
Sugar Free Chocolate Shaves, for garnish

To Prepare the Cakes:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients together until well incorporated.  You don't have to worry about over mixing because there's no flour in the batter.  Divide the cake batter into 2 (4 ounces) microwave safe mugs.  Microwave on high for 90 seconds.  Let the cakes cool down slight.  Meanwhile, prepare the whipped cream.

To Prepare the Whipped Cream:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the heavy cream, powdered sugar substitute, and vanilla bean paste.  Whisk until stiff peaks form.  Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.  Pipe the whipped cream onto the cooled cakes.  Sprinkle with chocolate shaves and enjoy!
