Chocolate Lava Mug Cake

Gooey chocolate lava mug cake, ‘nough said. Made for one and ready in about 25 minutes from start to finish, we’ve tried to make this as “least-naughty” as possible. That’s why we’ve added chocolate protein powder into the mix and omitted any additional sugars or sweeteners.

Not only is it quick and easy to make, this gooey chocolate mug cake recipe is totally adaptable to your dietary requirements too. It’s a plant-based recipe but the oil can be substituted for butter if you prefer.

Enjoy and let us know how you go!

You can cook in a microwave. We just don't have one so couldn't test it out, but you could cook on high for about 60 seconds, depending on your microwave
