Recipe: 3 Minute Chocolate Cake

This recipe is from Lindsay Nixon's new book, Everyday Happy Herbivore. She posted this recipe as a sneak peek for her new book before it was released. Cody and I had to try it right away. I am so excited to share it with you!


Something you should know about me first is that I am not a huge chocolate fan. Yes, I know, there is something truly wrong with me. I have never been a fan of chocolate cake and I always hated chocolate ice cream. Cody fixed this chocolate cake one night because it's so easy to make. It's the best chocolate cake I've ever had and now I crave it. Just what I needed, to crave chocolate cake! Here's how you make it....


INGREDIENTS:
4 tbsp white whole wheat flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp nondairy milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
vanilla extract
dash cinnamon
2-3 tbsp vegan chocolate chips
Chocolate Mug Cake - serves 1


Place all of your dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
In another mixing bowl put all your wet ingredients together.

You whisk the dry ingredients together.
After you have whisked the dry ingredients you can add the wet and dry ingredients together.

Don't forget to add the chocolate chips! (The best part!!)
Once you mix the chips in well, you are ready to scoop the batter in your mug.

Microwave for three minutes (at 1000 watts - if your microwave is weaker or stronger, adjust accordingly).

This cake is so simple and easy. It's has a very rich chocolate taste. I think it would be great to fix for family and friends during the holidays. It's so good when it's straight out of the microwave and hot. If you try it, please let me know what you think. Even if you aren't vegan, I swear the vegan chocolate chips are AMAZING!! Please try them if you haven't. :)
