Ingredients Steps Nutrition
  • 1 egg
  • 15 grams (2 tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 20 grams (2 tbsp) maple syrup

Healthy Chocolate Topping

  • Spray a small microwave safe mug with oil, so that the chocolate cake will not stick.
  • In the prepared mug, slightly beaten the egg, then add cocoa powder and maple syrup. Using a spoon or fork, stir well until all ingredients are combined and you get a smooth chocolate cake batter.
  • Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute (or bake in hot oven at 180°C/ 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes). Make sure to not overcook your mug cake otherwise it will dry.
  • After cooking the chocolate mug cake, you can either let it in the bowl or take it out and transfer to a dessert plate. For the best taste, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Healthy Chocolate Topping

  • In a small bowl stir together cocoa powder with sweetener of choice (to taste) and milk to consistency
