An easy recipe for a gluten-free chocolate mug cake. This cake is just like a wacky cake- no eggs, milk or butter needed. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a moist chocolate single-serving cake. The mug cake is naturally dairy-free and vegan.
¼cupgluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum( I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.)
3tablespoonsgranulated sugar
½teaspoongluten-free baking powder
⅛teaspoonsalt
2tablespoonsgluten-free unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛teaspoonground cinnamon
¼teaspoonpure vanilla extract
2tablespoonscoconut oil or vegetable oil(I used coconut oil)
¼cupwater
1tablespoongluten-free chocolate chips(For dairy-free and vegan I like Nestle Simply Delicious or Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips.)
Instructions
In large 12-ounce microwave-safe coffee mug whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
Whisk in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and water until all ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth.
Sprinkle the top of the batter with the chocolate chips.
Microwave mug cake for 70 seconds on high. Please watch your microwave. I have a 1500 watt microwave oven. Do not overcook or the cake will be dry. I recommend that you place a plate or paper towel under your mug the first time you make this cake to catch any potential spillage if your cup is not large enough.
Carefully remove from the microwave and enjoy the cake! Let the cake cool for 1 to 2 minutes before eating.
