Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 1 - 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tsp cocoa powder
  • 6 tbsp spelt, white, or oat flour (For low carb, make this Keto Mug Cake)
  • 2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar, unrefined if desired
  • 4 tsp additional sugar OR pinch uncut stevia
  • 2 tbsp oil (Many commenters say it still tastes good if you sub applesauce or mashed banana. I haven't tried.)
  • 6 tbsp water or milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • If using an oven, preheat to 350 F. Grease a mug or two ramekins very well. Stir together all dry ingredients, either in the mug or in a separate dish. Add wet, and stir to form a batter. Transfer to the mug or ramekins if not already there. Either bake (12 min) or microwave until fluffy - my microwave took 2 minutes, but it will vary greatly depending on wattage. Eat straight in the dish, or let cool completely and then go around the sides with a knife to loosen. Top with ice cream, chocolate frosting, or anything you wish!
