Prep Time: 2 mins
Cook Time: 1 mins
Total Time: 3 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 mug cake
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and a microwave-safe mug. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing consistency.
- In the mug, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Add the pinch of salt to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork or small whisk to combine.
- Pour in the maple syrup and non-dairy milk. Stir the mixture carefully, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mug to incorporate all ingredients completely.
- Mix until the batter is smooth and free of any dry flour pockets. The consistency should be similar to a thick, slightly runny cake batter.
- Smooth the top of the batter with the back of a spoon to ensure even cooking.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 45-60 seconds. Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the mug cake to rest for 30-60 seconds after cooking to complete the cooking process and cool slightly.
- Optional: Top with additional maple syrup, dairy-free whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving.
- Enjoy the mug cake warm, directly from the mug, using a spoon.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates a more even cake.
- Don't overmix the batter - stop stirring once ingredients are just combined.
- Microwave power varies, so start with 45 seconds and add time if needed.
- Let the cake rest briefly after cooking to allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
- For extra indulgence, experiment with toppings like dairy-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
- Ensure your mug is microwave-safe and large enough to prevent overflow during cooking.
