Chocolate Cake in a Cup- Gluten Free Style

Submitted by Chef #892813

"After finding a great quick cake in a cup recipe I decided to make it gluten free and it turned out great."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: cake
• Serves: 1-2

ingredients

• 4 tablespoons gluten-free flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 dash salt
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

directions

1. In a large coffee cup mix together dry ingredients. Stir in wet ingredients. Mix well. Add chocolate chips. Put the cup in the microwave for 3 minutes high power. Let sit for a minute or two to cool just a bit and enjoy.
2. We enjoyed this plain but you could always put a gluten free frosting or powdered sugar on the top.

Heaven! I made this tonight after craving something chocolatey all day. This is so good and rich and super chocolatey, reminds me more of a really good brownie. I made it in a single serve baking dish instead of a coffee cup and it's huge! This one will be a favorite go-to sweet tooth emergency dessert for me. Thanks for sharing the recipe Chef, I am highly appreciative!

Made to recipe and it was way too strong on the cocoa.

used an egg replacer, allergic to eggs. Was just too bitter. tried cooking an additional 1 min. because too mushy 1/2 way through. Maybe the egg replacer made it that way. I feel like it was a waist of ingredients.

Wanted a quick recipe and found this. We were so excited! We were disappointed though. The cake was very spongy and had a bitter taste. But, adding more chocolate chips definitely made it taste better. Next time, I would use a pinch of baking powder to lift it. Not sure why it was so spongy, maybe the gluten free flour?
