Warning, chocolate pudding cake made too easy!
Yesterday was kind of crazy here. I had early pick ups from school and a parent teacher conference right after that. On top of all of that...it was raining so we were all locked inside together! The boys had their friend over from next door and treats were needed! 
I made this chocolate cake in a cup a couple of months ago on a whim after seeing it around the web. The boys remembered it and asked for it yesterday. I had everything it takes and it comes together easily so I figured, why not??? 
This is definitely for people that like dense chocolate cake. It is a cross between chocolate cake and chocolate pudding. These are not pretty by any means. But, they are a great sweet treat that can be dressed up with a little whipped cream or ice cream! So, if you are stressed for time, don't want to spend a lot of time on dishes and need a quick chocolate treat...this is a great recipe to keep on hand!
Microwave Chocolate Cake In A Cup4 TBSP all purpose flour (white rice flour works too!)
4 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP cocoa powder
1 egg (flax egg works too)
3 TBSP milk (almond works!)
3 TBSP oil
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mug. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix very well. Cook for 3 minutes in the microwave. Watch it puff up like crazy. Allow to cool for a minute and then enjoy with whipped cream or ice cream!
(not a good picture, but I wanted to show you how it puffs up while cooking)
that's an awesome idea!! how fun!! :)

ReplyDeleteOh I love cake in a cup!! :)
ReplyDeleteif only eggs worked for me. sigh. they do not. at all. total reactions.
ReplyDeleteBUT glad that choc chip info works for you. Ya know, all dark or semi sweet chips that dont have milk solids are inherently dairy free and although i would never tell someone w/ life threatening allergies to "Go ahead it's totally fine" i think for most ppl they are actually "fine". However, to each her own! Youll have to let me know what you end up using/trying in the choc chip department!
ha, that's great and looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHey I made this with the applesauce instead of oil and it worked great!
ReplyDeletedefinitely LMK how the GF Vegan pancakes turn out for you if you end up making them....thankx for the comment and letting me know you guys are obvi dairy free and mostly GF! cool!
