Can you cut 1 Tonne of carbon pollution out of your life?
Take the challengeThe perfect individual sized chocolate cake!
It fits in a mug, it's vegan-friendly and will take you no more than 5 minutes to make. What could be better?
Well, some of our other desserts may come close, like these choc-orange raw cheesecake balls, or this chocolate mousse (made with avocados...seriously), but this mug cake is definitely a winner.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 3 tbsp non-dairy milk (almond, soy, rice)
- 2 tbsp brown rice malt syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp vegan choc chips
- Large spoonful of peanut butter
Directions
Mix the flour, cacao powder, choc chips and baking powder together in a regular size mug (the kind you would use for a cup of tea).
Add milk, brown rice syrup, coconut oil. Mix everything together well.
Add a large dollop of peanut butter in the centre.
Microwave for 60 seconds. Check it, if it needs a little more cooking time or you prefer it more well-done, microwave for another 15-30 seconds (but be careful not to OVER cook, as it will turn a bit like cement in your mouth).
I prefer mine a little underdone and gooey, but each to their own.
Note: If you can't find vegan chocolate chips, buy any block of vegan chocolate and break it up into very small pieces.
