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 important chocolate cravings proper this second.
Just some squares of chocolate or a handful of chocolate chips is often ample to get the job carried out, nonetheless the completely completely totally different day I found myself with a reasonably intense eager for chocolate cake. What’s a woman 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 particular particular person would do — I made myself a single slice of cake… in a mug.
I’m pretty new to mug muffins. Actually, 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. Nonetheless in my defence, I grew up and on no account utilizing a microwave so the idea of cooking in a single is pretty abroad to me.

Let’s merely say it killed my eager for chocolate cake. Nonetheless ample about me and my cravings — let’s discuss cake.
Just some notes about this one.

No matter — it’ll be value 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 really not.
Third, it’s big quick and easy. You solely should dirty up one dish (and one spoon/fork) and also you would possibly 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!
