Ingredients

2 tablespoon all-purpose flour gluten-free, if necessary
2 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice sugar or sugar substitute
2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/16 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon espresso powder optional
1 teaspoon oil of choice vegetable, sunflower, coconut, etc.
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar scant 1/2 teaspoon * See notes
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon water
1-2 tablespoon chocolate chips of choice optional

Instructions

Grease a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin generously with cooking spray.
Add your dry ingredients and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. If using chocolate chips, fold them through.
Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until done. Remove from the microwave and let sit for 30 seconds, before enjoying.

Oven Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease an oven-safe dish or ramekin (4-6 inches).
Add your dry ingredients and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. If using chocolate chips, fold them through.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake looks done. Remove from the oven and let sit for 30 seconds, before enjoying.

Notes

* Try not to fill the 1/2 teaspoon full of the vinegar.

The chocolate mug cake is made without eggs, so it is okay if your mug cake is a little undercooked.

For a moist chocolate mug cake, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of water and add chocolate chips into the center of the mug cake.
