Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or coconut oil, melted)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug (at least 10 ounces in capacity), whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir well with a fork or small whisk until a smooth batter forms.
If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the cake has risen and set in the center. Be careful not to overcook, as the cake may become dry.
Remove the mug from the microwave and let it cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
Enjoy the mug cake as is, or top with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or fresh berries for an extra treat!
