Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 1 mug cake

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp Dutch cocoa powder or additional regular
  • 3 tbsp flour spelt, white, oat, or all purpose gluten free (or try this Keto Mug Cake Recipe)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp oil or nut butter (While I much prefer the version with fat, many commenters say they love substituting applesauce or mashed banana here)
  • 3 tbsp milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • How to make a chocolate mug cake recipe: Combine dry ingredients and mix very, very well. Add liquid, stir, then transfer to a little dish, ramekin, or even a coffee mug. Either microwave 30-60 seconds (time will depend on your microwave's wattage) OR cook in a preheated 350 F oven for about 14 minutes. If you don’t want to eat it straight out of the dish, be sure to spray your dish first and then wait for the mug cake to cool before trying to remove it. Frosting ideas are listed above in the post!
