This tropical tasting mug cake would make a zingy breakfast or a delicious dessert
There's nothing like the zing of fresh lime to perk up a sweet cake. Coupled with grated fresh coconut, this sweet breakfast/dessert brings a truly tropical taste to the table. You could easily add fruit to this - think mango, pineapple or passion fruit - approx. 100g of either would work.
But we've gone with a plain a low-calorie, low-carb simple sponge and it's delicious just as it is!
