Satisfy your chocolate cravings and stay true to your gluten-free diet with this easy chocolate cake. All you need is a microwave-safe mug, a fork, a microwave oven, and about ten minutes to get a personal serving of delicious chocolate cake without a mess! Instead of all-purpose flour, this recipe uses almond and coconut flour for a mildly nutty taste and added texture. Raw cocoa powder has many health benefits, the batter is lightly sweetened with maple syrup, so it's low in refined sugar while still feeling like a decadent treat. If you like, serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.

Katie Hason says:

You had me at microwavable cake! Plus it's gluten free! This is a great recipe and the trick is to make sure you pick really good cocoa powder. So easy and delicious, can't wait to make again soon!

Sam Dalton says:

I made two for me and my wife and they turned out really delicious and decadent. I loves these individual-size desserts. She almost didn't believe that I actually made it in the microwave!

Alice Rodriguez says:

So many ways to dress it up, I love this one! I use a GF flour instead of coconut (belly ache like never!) works even better. Some dried cherries really added a nice touch.
