Second Nature Chocolate Mug Cake

By Second Nature Dietician Steph Schatz

Our Chocolate Mug Cake has just half the sugar of a normal slice of chocolate cake and it’s ready to eat in just two minutes in the microwave. Perfect for a winter dessert or an indulgent snack.

RatingDifficultyBeginner
Prep Time15 minsTotal Time15 mins
 4 tbsp Ground almonds or fine oats
 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
 3 tbsp Milk
 1 tsp Coconut oil
 1 Egg
 2 tbsp 70-85% large chocolate chips or 3-4 squares, roughly chopped
 ¼ tsp Baking powder
 100 g Strawberries, sliced
1

Mix the almonds and cocoa powder in a large mug until well combined.

2

Add the rest of the ingredients in order and a tiny pinch of salt, and mix well.

3

Heat for 50-60secs (watching so it doesn’t rise above the lip of the mug). If it starts to rise to the top, pause the microwave, let it deflate and continue. Heat for a total of two minutes. It should stop rising after the first minute but continue to watch for the final minute.

4

Enjoy topped with a small handful of strawberries.
