2 tbsp (15g) oat flour
2 tbsp (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ tsp baking powder

Stir in the vanilla extract and liquid stevia. Gradually mix in the flour mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until just incorporated. If using, gently fold in ¾ teaspoon of chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared ramekin, and gently press the remaining chocolate chips on top (if using). Microwave on 30% POWER for 2 minutes 40 seconds (2:40). Let the mug cake cool for at least 4 minutes to allow the center to finish cooking through.

Categories     Dessert

Time 3m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large egg
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp preferred sweetener, I like using a little bit of raw honey, but if you are not used to making anything low carb you might prefer to start with 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
1/4 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the egg, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Lastly add the baking soda and mix.
  • Pour the batter into microwavable silicone cupcake liners, or 1 medium bowl (to make a small cake), or 3 small bowls (to make it cupcake size), people often use a coffee mug too. I found that one batch made 3 cupcakes. *If you are using bowls or a coffee mug you should lightly grease the inside with butter, coconut oil, or your preferred cooking fat.
  • Microwave all three cupcakes at once for 1 minute or until baked. *Note, the batter will rise very high at first and then deflate as it is finished baking.
  • Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If the toothpick comes out clean it is finished, if not microwave for a few more seconds.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 egg
A few drops vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
A pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
Confectioners' sugar or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug in 10-second increments until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Crack the egg into a small bowl; add the vanilla and whisk to combine using a small whisk or fork. Pour the egg mixture into the mug over the butter and whisk to combine.
  • Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and whisk until mostly smooth (a few lumps are O.K.). Scrape down the sides the best you can with a spoon or a small silicone spatula. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Sift a little confectioners' sugar on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Dig in with a spoon.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your mug cake. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use the right mug: Choose a mug that is microwave-safe and holds at least 12 ounces. A larger mug will result in a thinner, flatter cake.
  • Don't overcook the cake: The cooking time will vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with 60 seconds and then check the cake in 15-second intervals until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before eating: Let the cake cool for a minute or two before eating to allow the center to set.

Conclusion:

Flourless chocolate mug cakes are a quick and easy way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With just a few simple ingredients and a microwave, you can have a rich, decadent cake in minutes. Experiment with different chocolate flavors and toppings to find your favorite combination. These cakes are also gluten-free, making them a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
