Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp beaten egg

Method
 

  1. In a 12 ounce microwave safe mug, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Pour in the milk, oil, vanilla, and beaten egg. Stir vigorously until a smooth, glossy batter forms with no dry spots.
  3. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, checking at 60 seconds. The cake is ready when the top is set and edges pull away from the mug.
  4. Let rest 1 minute, then dust with powdered sugar or top with ice cream and serve warm.

Notes

This batter comes together in two minutes, but it does not keep well once baked. Make it when you plan to eat it right away. If you want to prep ahead, whisk the dry ingredients in the mug the night before and add the wet ingredients just before microwaving.
