Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 3 tablespoon all purpose flour
• ▢ 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacoa powder
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ▢ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ▢ 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• ▢ 3 tablespoon milk of your choice
• ▢ 1 square dark chocolate

Instructions

 

• In a mug mix the dry ingredients together.
• Add the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
• Add the piece of dark chocolate to the centre.
• Cook in the microwave for 40 - 60 seconds (800W). All microwaves are different, so the cooking time might differ. I recommend checking the cake after 30 seconds and then cooking longer if needed.
• Serve with some berries. Maybe add some greek yogurt for some extra protein.
