Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 Small apple Or half of a medium sized apple
  • 2 Teaspoons Olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Cake flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 ml Baking Powder

Method
 

  1. In a high speed blender blend the apple, oil and water together.
  2. Mix the cocoa powder, flour, coconut flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the apple sauce mixture to it.
  4. Gently stir the mixture together until just combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a mug and microwave your batter for 1 minute on high.
  6. If your batter isn’t cooked properly then microwave it for an additional 10 seconds.

Notes

Just combine the wet and dry ingredients together so the gluten doesn’t overdevelop and cause your mug cake to be overly chewy.
After your mug cake has been cooking in the microwave for 1 minute, stick a toothpick into the centre to check if it has cooked. The toothpick should come out clean.
If your batter isn’t cooked, microwave it again for 10 seconds. 
Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overcook and become hard.
Let the chocolate and coconut mug cake cool for 2 minutes so you don’t burn your mouth!
