GF Chocolate Mug Cake

After a cold night of lifeguarding, I came home wanting to bake something hot and homey, but also not wanting to clean up the inevitable big mess I would make.. soooooo... here it is 

This cake is heaven... in a mug... actually, i believe mugs often hold happiness.... coffee, hot chocolate, tea... lets just agree that mugs hold the secret to happiness, in the form of hot comfort. This mug cake recipe is an adaption from: http://www.mugcake.com I changed some things to make it GF so we can ALL enjoy it! :)

Ingredients:  4 tablespoons GF flour: i used my silvana's mix from my previous post... i keep a big jar of it in my freezer at the ready... just substitute this or another all-purpose GF flour from the store. 4 tablespoons sugar I used half brown sugar and half white sugar... the more fudgier you want, use more brown sugar. 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil 2 tablespoons water (or slightly more, as needed) a pinch of salt microwave oven and of course a mug Add in and top as you wish: Chocolate chips, Nutella, whip cream etc.

Instructions:  1. Mix all the dry ingredients for your mug cake (flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt) in your mug. 2. Add the wet ingredients (water and oil) for your mug cake and stir until no powder is visible. You may need to add a bit more water. 3. Add in your desired additions to the mug cake and mix thoroughly. 4. Cook your mug cake on the high setting of your microwave for 1 minute. The cooking time can vary depending on your microwave, so cook for 1 minute and then try for 10 second intervals until your cake is at your desired consistency. 5. Enjoy with a glass of cold milk and a good movie :)
