Craving a warm, gooey chocolate cake but don't want to heat up the oven? This gluten-free chocolate mug cake is the perfect solution! Made with simple ingredients and ready in just a few minutes, it's the ultimate quick and easy dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (31g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (31g) coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased 12-ounce (350ml) mug.
  5. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Tips:

  • For a richer cake, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
  • Add 1/4 cup (50g) of chopped chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolatey treat.
  • If you don't have almond flour or coconut flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
  • This cake is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Enjoy!
