How to Make Chocolate Mug Cake Gluten Free

  1. Lightly grease a large mug (12-16 oz).
  2. Add dry ingredients (see below) to the mug and whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the egg and whisk vigorously until just combined.
  4. Stir in the milk and oil until smooth.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
  6. Microwave on high for 3-3.5 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and springs back slightly when touched.
  7. Let cool for a minute before enjoying! The cake will rise above the rim of the mug.
  8. (Optional - Jam Variation): In a separate mug, place 2 tablespoons of your favorite jam. Prepare the cake batter as directed above and carefully pour it over the jam in the second mug before microwaving.
  9. (Optional - Orange Variation): Prepare the cake batter as directed, omitting the cocoa powder. Replace the cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons of gluten-free rice flour. Add 1 teaspoon of grated orange zest to the batter before microwaving.
