Mug Cake

3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
2 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour (or gluten free blend)
2 tablespoons sugar or coconut sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil (Note 2)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tall microwavable mug Topping Ideas (Optional)
chocolate chips, chocolate-hazelnut butter, and/or non-dairy ice cream

Instructions

Step 1: Combine all ingredients, except the toppings, in a tall microwavable mug. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain. Stir the bottom corners well too, as lumps can easily hide there.
Step 2: Microwave for 45 tp 60 seconds, depending on your microwave wattage. Carefully remove from the microwave. If making more than 1 serving, microwave each mug separately, as combining them will affect the time settings.
Step 3: Scatter any chocolate chips, chocolate-hazelnut butter, or almond butter on top of the warm cake. Let the mug cake sit for about 2 minutes after cooking. The residual heat will finish cooking the cake and melt the toppings.
Serve: Enjoy warm.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Recipe adapted from Nora Cooks.

Note 2: Avocado oil, melted coconut oil, and melted vegan butter will all work here. You could also make an oil-free alternative by substituting an equal amount of smooth nut butter, yogurt, or applesauce. It will not be as rich tasting, but it will still be tasty.

Note 3: Play around with the flavors by substituting the vanilla extract with coffee extract, almond extract, or even some bourbon.
