Chocolate Coconut Mug Cake Recipe | What Is The Recipe Of Chocolate Coconut Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or 1-to-1 gluten free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder I used Dutch unprocessed
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- whipped cream Coconut, recipe below
- coconut flakes Toasted
- 14 1/2 ounces coconut milk chilled
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar optional
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut milk, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined and batter is thick.
-
Transfer cake batter to a microwavable mug. Fill 3/4 or less to make room for the cake rising. Microwave the mug for 60-70 seconds. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out almost clean.
-
Top cake with coconut whipped cream and coconut flakes.
-
Carefully open the chilled coconut milk cans. Be careful not to shake as you want the top layer. Once open, scoop out the top layer of each can and place into the bowl.
-
Using the whisker, whisk the coconut cream until soft peaks form, 3-4 minutes on medium speed. Add in the powdered sugar if using and whisk until stiff peaks form. Top the cake with the whipped coconut cream.
Tips:
- Coconut Milk: If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, you can use coconut milk instead of regular milk.
- Texture: For a lighter texture, add an extra tablespoon of milk or reduce the amount of cocoa powder.
- Toppings: You can also top the cake with more shredded coconut, chocolate sauce, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for contrast.
Healthier Variations:
- Flour: Substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour for a healthier option.
- Sweetener: Use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar for a lower glycemic index.
- Oil: Replace the vegetable oil with coconut oil for extra coconut flavor and healthy fats.
Health Benefits:
- Coconut: Shredded coconut is rich in healthy fats and fiber, which can help improve digestion and provide sustained energy.
- Cocoa: Cocoa is high in antioxidants, which have numerous health benefits, including improving heart health and mood.
This Chocolate Coconut Mug Cake is a delicious and easy way to indulge in a sweet treat when you’re short on time. The combination of chocolate and coconut is irresistible, and it’s perfect for a quick dessert after a long day!
