I've seen these mug cakes for one but never really tried it until now. I had a night to myself with my husband and oldest daughter away. The baby girl was napping and a sweet tooth kicked in. I needed something soft and easy to eat since I had just had phase two of my braces put on. (Yes I'm 34 years old and wearing braces. I wanted to partially relive my teenage years again, what can I say!? :-) This perfectly hit the spot for me. The right size. The right taste. And just for one - me!
Berry Chocolate Cake for One
(Serves 1 - don't share!)
Coffee or tea mug (or ramekin)
1/3 cup of chopped berries - I used blackberries
1 egg
1 Tbsp butter - I like the all natural Irish Kerrygold brand
2 Tbsp almond flour
1 tsp coconut flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 drops of vanilla extract
1 Tbsp Enjoy Life chocolate chips
About 1/3 tsp of coconut oil for greasing the mug
In a small mixing bowl, combine your chopped berries, egg, butter, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and drops of vanilla extract. Fold in your chocolate chips last.
Grease a large coffee or tea mug with coconut oil. Spoon in the cake batter into the greased mug.
Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the heat and consistency of the cake. Mine was ready in about 1 minute, 40 seconds.
Let it cool for a few minutes or slice it into pieces before eating. The cake is very hot from the microwave and heat of the mug.
I dumped the cake onto a plate so you could see what it looks like. And so I could take a picture of it. You can just eat it straight from the mug though! :-)
Enjoy every last bite. This is really good stuff and so easy to throw together quickly too.
