Today is National Chocolate Cake Day, which I wrote about on January 17th. My idea was to give you plenty of time to plan for chocolate raptures you would engage with, when the day came. Some of you are good planners and got into some really great chocolate cake today. I had a series of events today, so I will have to celebrate this all-important special day tomorrow. Meanwhile, let’s talk about quick ways to celebrate chocolate cake without having a whole one: enter the mug cake!
The mug cake is a dessert similar in size to 2 cupcakes, or 1 large muffin. You have a small recipe or a mix made to bake in a mug, and you end up with, well, a mug sized cake you’ll eat right out of the mug. Typically, you can microwave these, but some are for baking in your countertop oven or even your regular oven.
For a yummy classic chocolate mug cake from the Chocolate Covered Katie collection, you’ll need cocoa, flour, sweetener, salt, baking powder, milk of choice, pure vanilla extract, and oil or banana. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp Dutch or additional regular cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp spelt, white, oat, or gf ap flour (or try this Keto Mug Cake Recipe)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2-3 tsp oil (Many commenters have said it still tastes good if you sub applesauce or mashed banana. CCK says “I haven’t tried it”)
- 3 tbsp milk of choice
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
So avoid too much temptation at once, and make yourself a little chocolate cake in a mug. Do it in honor of National Chocolate Cake Day or simply to enjoy. Check out some of the mug cake mixes and let me know what you think. And that will be you and me, ever more Healthy Happy Loving Lifesm! Are you in?
