Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Gluten-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a standard microwave-safe mug, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a fork or small whisk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
If desired, sprinkle gluten-free chocolate chips over the top of the mixture and gently push them slightly into the batter with the back of a spoon.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 90 seconds and check for doneness; the cake is ready when it has risen and the center is firm but slightly moist.
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let the cake cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy straight from the mug or with a scoop of your favorite gluten-free ice cream!
