Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour * see note
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder * see note
  • 3 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk * see note
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • dash salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, add the dry ingredients and whisk to blend. I like to mix them out of the mug because it ensures all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  • If your coconut oil is solid, heat the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 15 seconds. Add the wet ingredients to the oil and whisk to blend.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.
  • Scoop the batter into a large microwave-safe coffee mug.
  • Microwave for 70-90 seconds. The time will vary depending on how large the mug is and the depth. The cake is going to rise up high during cooking, then fall. This is normal.
  • Remove the cake from the microwave. It will be hot. Carefully tilt the mug so the cake falls out onto a plate.
  • Top the cake with ice cream and/or fresh berries.

Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1/2 teaspoon.
  3. I highly suggest using almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is coarser and will make your cake gritty.
  4. I used almond milk, but other dairy-free kinds of milk, and even regular milk will work. I do not recommend canned coconut milk.
  5. This mug cake will keep fresh for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
