(Another) Fudgey Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake

8/29/2014

   Me and my mug cakes. I just love that I can whip up a nice warm treat with just enough for my one portion. Love it.
   I made a paleo chocolate mug cake a while back, and it's good and tasty too, but I wanted to experiment with texture and get a more fudgey-cakey feel, and less of a spongey-cakey feel. Like I said, both are good, but this one really hit the spot for me.

(Another) Fudgey Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil (just warm it in the mug)
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 Tsp Vanilla
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 Egg yolk (save the white to make this the next day if you want!) 
  • 1 Tbsp Cocoa
  • 3 Tbsp almond meal

Method:

  1. Mix all wet ingredients together in the mug.
  2. Add all the dry, and mix well.
  3. Micro-wave for 45-50 seconds (I'm told my microwave is hot, so, start with this time, and stick a knife or a toothpick into the cake at this point to see if it comes out clean). You don't want to overcook a mug cake though, as the centre can get really dry.
  4. Gobble it up! :)

   It's crazy simple to make, and every time I make one, my first bite I always (out loud) say something like, "seriously, this is so good!". So, take that for what it's worth, and have a great weekend. 
   Peace out!

This is delicious! So many mug cakes have turned out horribly, for me. Bad texture, yucky taste. This one is amazing! I was disappointed I didn't have frosting, so I got out homemade naturally-sweetened caramel sauce. I didn't use it! This was so good (especially while still warm), that I didn't want to ruin the great chocolate flavor by adding anything. Trust me, that's a huge compliment. I usually want to tweak other people's recipes, but this one I will not change at all!!!
