I use a microwave muffin pan that makes 7 cakes. Time will vary according to microwave power and size and the type of pan used.

This is great with the lemon curd above or with a dab of sugar free raspberry jam and some whipped cream or with fresh raspberries or strawberries and cream like in a shortcake.

This is not a very sweet cake.

*I like my muffins sweeter so I add some liquid splenda to the recipe. Also, I find that I need to use 1 cup of almond flour most of time. To make muffins I just bake them in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes. I don’t have microwave muffin pans or I would just do that.
