Ingredients
2tbspself-raising flour
1tbspnatural granulated sweetener
2tspunsweetened cocoa powder,or 1 tbsp for a darker, richer chocolate cake
¼tspbaking powder
pinch of salt
1tspbutter,reduced fat, melted or coconut oil
2tbspunsweetened almond milk,or skim milk, 2½ tbsp of milk if using 1 tbsp cocoa powder
⅛tsppure vanilla extract
¾tbspmini chocolate chips of choice,milk or dark, divided, optional
Preparation
Grab a ½-cup capacity mug and spray with cooking oil spray. Into the mug, add in the flour, sweetener (or sugar), cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. To that, add melted butter, milk and vanilla.
Fold in ½ tablespoon of chocolate chips, if desired. Mix them through. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake in the microwave on Quick or High setting for 40 seconds. Open the door and gently touch the top with a fingertip.
If it’s still a little underdone in the middle, bake for another 10 seconds until cooked through (not too long, as the cake will continue cooking in the mug once it’s removed).
