When December rolls around, and the evenings are dark and cold and you’re all piled under quilts with fuzzy socks on, you want a little something decadent and warm. This is your decadent alternative to hot chocolate. Fluffy chocolate cake with molten core can be yours in less than a few minutes. It is downright sinful, and it’s so rich I couldn’t even make it through the entire mug.
That it’s vegan is a special side bonus. This is the least veganish tasting dish you’ve ever eaten.
Vegan Two-Minute Chocolate Cake
In a coffee mug, mix —
1/4 cup flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder (I used Ghirardelli)
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
— until thoroughly blended.
Then, add —
2 tsp oil
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp milk (I used rice milk)
1 tsp vanilla
— until it’s a smooth batter.
Pop it in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Top with treats of your choice. I went with pistachios and sea salt. I could also see a dollop of peanut butter or nutella working. Or, a sprinkle from a smashed candy cane.
Happy December!
