Gooey Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake

So gooey, fudgy and super chocolaty! In less than 2 minutes you can have a quick, indulgent chocolate fix!

WHAT IS A MUG CAKE?

A mug cake is a single serving cake that is cooked in a mug or cup, in the microwave. It is a very quick and easy method to make a cakey dessert.

It is as easy as mixing all the ingredients in a mug and microwaving it for 40 - 60 seconds.

40 seconds will give a fudgy, gooey texture. If you want the texture a bit more cakey, cook it for 10 - 20 seconds longer.

Enjoy as it is or with a scoop of vegan ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.

• vegan

• super easy and quick to make

TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED

• cacao powder, unsweetened

• all purpose flour

• salt

• coconut sugar or granular sweetener of choice

• baking powder

• a banana

• oat or almond milk or milk of choice

• cold brewed coffee

• vanilla extract

• 70% dark chocolate or chocolate of choice

TIPS!

• I used a 70% dark chocolate for the melting centre, but any type of chocolate should be fine.

• For a gluten-free version, use oat flour instead of all purpose flour.

• For a nut-free version, use oat milk or any nut-free milk of choice.

• To keep this recipe oil-free I used a mashed banana.

• Using the banana also adds natural sweetness meaning less sugar needs to be added to the mixture.

• The mashed banana helps make the "batter" more gooey and fudgy.
