Second, as a consequence of an superior sale at my native efficiently being meals retailer, I’m at current effectively stocked on my favourite Dagoba chocolate, which can be very helpful seeing as I’ve been dealing with some crucial chocolate cravings for the time being.
Only a few squares of chocolate or a handful of chocolate chips is often ample to get the job carried out, nonetheless the totally completely totally different day I found myself with a reasonably intense eager for chocolate cake. What’s a girl to do?!? I didn’t have the time or ought to whip up an entire chocolate cake from scratch, nonetheless my craving wished to be glad yesterday so I did what any chocolate-crazed specific particular person would do — I made myself a single slice of cake… in a mug.
I’m pretty new to mug muffins. Truly, the one I tried from Becky the alternative day was the first one I ever had. I do know, I do know… I’m late to the celebration.

I’ve a implies that I’ll be getting far more accustomed to it though, seeing due to it permits me to take pleasure in components like this in beneath 5 minutes…
Let’s merely say it killed my eager for chocolate cake. Nonetheless ample about me and my cravings — let’s talk about cake.
Only a few notes about this one. First, it took me three tries and a handful of curse phrases to get it great, which signifies that I possibly would have saved myself the time and drawback if I had merely baked an entire cake from the start. No matter — it’ll be worth it in the long run. This recipe’s a keeper.
Second, I do know the recipe says that chocolate chips are non-compulsory, nonetheless they’re truly not.
Third, it’s big quick and simple. You solely should dirty up one dish (and one spoon/fork) and you’d take pleasure in a serving of chocolate cake in beneath 5 minutes.
Fourth, although I decide it chocolate cake, it’s actually pretty healthful (nonetheless shhhh… don’t inform). The protein and fat from the egg and the fibre from the coconut flour make for a balanced snack that’s good for when that afternoon hunch hits. And no crazy sugar highs or lows — I promise.
Fifth… alright, alright, ample rambling. Appropriate correct proper right here’s the recipe!
