Vegan Cake in a Mug

Submitted by subaruthie

"Mug cakes are fairly popular, but they often have egg. Here's a tasty version you can make for yourself in a flash! Food-allergy friendly, too! I highly suggest using Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder in this recipe (I've switched to only using it instead of regular cocoa powder). It's richer, moister, and smoother! Variations: try coffee or rice milk instead of water, use other flavored chips, or add nuts."

This was quite good! I was craving something chocolatey and sweet on vegan Monday so I found this recipe and gave it a try. Super easy! It turned out soft, moist, and chocolatey! It was perfect to satisfy my craving. I shared it with my husband as a nice little dessert so we didn't have to feel too bad about eating something sugary. I ate my half first and then he put whipped cream on his half (I know not vegan, but it does go well together!). Give it a try! It's easy to make and uses very little ingredients.

I've gone to the bother of registering with this site just so I can review this! It was lush, so chocolaty and gooey yum! It's the first mug cake I've done that's actually worked. Now the problem is, do I want another?...................... Gonna be hard to resist x
