Coffee Mug Chocolate Cake

Posted on | September 14, 2008 | 3 Comments

I came across this recipe on the Feingold Diet member forum and tried it this afternoon. It’s pretty yummy! There are a few versions of this recipe around apparently, but the one I used is below. I added the salt and used white chocolate chips. The kids give it a thumbs up. She noted the recipe is dangerous because it’s only five short minutes to chocolate cake.

1 Coffee mug
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 pinch kosher salt
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla extract

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

*Someone mentioned they substituted 3 tbs. brown rice flour and 1 tbs tapioca starch for the wheat flour and rice milk instead of regular milk to make this a gluten-free, casein-free recipe.

EDIT: I made a second batch, added a dash of cinnamon and left out the sugar by mistake but it was still good! The chips made it sweet so I think you can try cutting back on the sugar if it’s too much.

    The texture is definitely different from normal cake, but it’s a good different.
