Description
This Gluten-Free Chocolate Mug Cake is a warm, fudgy, single-serving dessert made in minutes with simple pantry ingredients. It is perfect for quick dessert cravings, easy gluten-free baking, late-night chocolate treats, simple snack ideas, and anyone who wants an easy recipe without making a full cake.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Add the gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a microwave-safe mug.
2. Stir the dry ingredients very well until the cocoa and flour are evenly combined.
3. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the mug.
4. Mix until the batter is smooth and no dry flour remains at the bottom.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips, saving a few for the top if desired.
6. Microwave on high for 60 to 75 seconds, until the top looks just set.
7. Let the mug cake rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Use a 10 to 12 ounce microwave-safe mug so the cake has room to rise.
Do not overcook the cake, since it will continue to set as it rests.
For a fudgier center, add extra chocolate chips or a small spoonful of peanut butter before microwaving.
