Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cannoli Mug Cake

A rich chocolate cake topped with a light and fluffy cannoli icing. Perfection in a mug. Specifically, a Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cannoli Mug Cake.

My love of cannoli goes back over 20 years. My best friend and I used to splurge and get them from the bakery closest to her house and then walk the mile back waiting in anticipation to dig in.

For my birthdays I always asked for cannoli cake. The only thing cannoli about it was the filling and the mini cannoli stuck on top but it was my favorite anyway.

When I made Whipped Cannoli Mousse last week I knew I wanted to try it as a cake icing. I didn’t have enough left to ice an entire cake but I had plenty for a mug cake.

Brenda over at Sugar Free Mom has a recipe for a white Cannoli Mug Cake for Two. If white cake is more your style check out her recipe.

I ate this whole thing for lunch. It was awesome. But it was very filling. If you are planning on having it for dessert after a meal it is shareable.

Notes

Notes on Sweeteners:

 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve use 1.5 to 2 times the amount of sweetener called for.

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
