To anyone interested in the whole cake in a mug thing

I kept seeing recipes for cake in a mug on Pinterest (yeah, I need a life, but my thesis is boring and Pinterest makes me feel creative). All of them were for a million calories (800+ in some!) I took a stab at one tonight and made it vegan and GF and it turned out so yummy! It isn't as sweet as normal cake but that's ok with me because I don't really like it super sugary. Anyway, here it is:

4 tbsp flour (I used Pamela's GF baking mix)

2 tbsp cocoa 

1.5 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp canned pumpkin

pinch of salt

pinch of cinnamon

3 tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla 

Mix in a mug with a fork and microwave for 60 seconds. Came out nice and moist and still slightly gooey! 

 

Re: To anyone interested in the whole cake in a mug thing

  • I might try this tonight! Maybe use agave nectar instead of maple syrup and applesauce instead of pumpkin? 
  • You can totally use applesauce instead, I just used pumpkin cause it's all I had on hand. It's replacing the 2 tbsp of oil that it originally called for. If the agave nectar is thicker than maple syrup I would use slightly more water because the syrup thinned it out nicely. The original recipe called for 3 tbsp white sugar and I used half of that with maple syrup to cut back on the sweetness.
  • ohhh good idea! sounds good.
