Chocolate Mug Cake


While we were on holiday vacation visiting my parents, I may have gotten used to finding some kind of sweet treat in the pantry or fridge.  All week I've had a hankering for chocolate and there was one last hershey kiss in our candy bowl.  So last night I hunted down a variety of recipes for chocolate mug cakes on the internet, combined them all together and came up with this one.  Still needs a few tweaks yet - but here's the start for 2 coffee mug sized "cakes".

Ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 6 Tbsp almond flour
  • 1 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 Tbsp Truvia or other sugar substitute
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • dash of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Optional: 1-2 Tbsp chocolate chips (I had white chocolate chips handy)

Instructions:

  1. Melt butter in a small cup/bowl/measuring cup
  2. In a larger mixing bowl, mix all dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut, flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder
  3. Add the butter to the flour mixture
  4. Then add in the remainder of the wet ingredients: vanilla & eggs
  5. Lastly, add in the optional chocolate chips
  6. Spray 2 coffee mugs with Pam or use some other non-stick spray/product
  7. Divide the batter between the two mugs
  8. Place both mugs in the microwave and microwave for 2 minutes
  9. Top with toppings of choice: I added strawberries, cool whip, and dark chocolate syrup.
