Not only is this a sweet dessert but it's also considered sugar free as it uses a natural sugar substitute. I'm all in with this one and I must say "this is one of the best mug cakes I have made. It had the same texture as a real oven baked cake.
Mine wanted to puff up and run over but it was an easy clean up.
I enjoyed eating it right out of the mug. It would have even been better with a scoop of ice cream.
Chocolate Mug Cake
1 egg (beaten)
2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1 tablespoon Almond milk or Cream
2 tablespoons Splenda ( I used Xylitol)
Pinch of Salt
1/4 Teaspoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
Mix well and pour into a greased mug or ramekin.
Microwave 1 min 20 seconds,
Top with powder sugar, icing, nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
ENJOY

This looks yummy. I will definitely be making it. If only everything could be yummy AND low calorie! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteSOLD!!! Oh my gosh...you should have never shown me this recipe...LOL I have a sweet tooth that runs for days and like you, give me a cake and I will eat the entire thing! Now that I know of a quick recipe to have cake in under 2 minutes...I'm in trouble!! The bad thing is that I love sugar...does this taste like it has artificial sweetener in it? Thanks for making me work out more! ;-) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWow! love this! so easy! and I have the same issue you have with not being able to -turn it off - or turn it down might be better description. You have conquered it - I still have 20 lbs to lose.
ReplyDeleteSherry will think the cake is the cat's meow. I think looks good. I also like something simple.
ReplyDeleteLove from a pretty but cool morning here in Florida. The days are passing fast, we will head that direction in the near future.

ReplyDeletescrumptious.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious and nice not to have to deal eating a whole cake.
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly try this!!!
OMGOSH- I was just thinking about a dessert of "some kind". This is absolutely perfect and I am going to make it in just a few minutes. Wait a minute....no rice flour or anything of that kind?
ReplyDeleteI need to write this recipe down. I wiped out a Pepperidge Farm cake this week, pretty much on my own. I also have no sweet control button. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteIm going to pin this recipie. How was your weekend Lisa, so much rain!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea too, where it is a single serving and it looks scrumptious!
Have a great day!

You are so right, a mug cake is a great way to prevent over indulgence and at just 130 calories it would be rude not to!!
ReplyDeleteI may need to try this tonight. It looks so good.
