Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 ½ tbsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well.
  2. Add the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth cake batter forms.
  3. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter, if using. They will sink during cooking.
  4. Microwave on high for 50-80 seconds until the cake rises and springs back when lightly touched.
  5. Check for doneness with a toothpick; microwave in 8-second intervals if needed.
  6. Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm directly from the mug!

Notes

– Use good quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
– Don’t over-microwave, or your cake will become dry.
– Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of ice cream on top for extra indulgence.
