HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL NEED...
- 1 tbsp Fabula Double Dark Coffee (brewed and cooled)
- 2 tbsp whole wheat flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: Dark chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
AND HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT...
1. Brew and Cool the Coffee - Start by brewing a small amount (1 tablespoon) of Fabula’s Double Dark Coffee and allow it to cool. This will infuse the cake with bold coffee flavors, balancing the rich chocolate.
2. Combine the Dry Ingredients - In a microwave-safe mug, mix together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These dry ingredients will create the base of your mug cake.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients - To the mug, add the brewed coffee, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well combined and smooth.
4. Microwave the Cake - Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 60-90 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave. The cake should rise and set, but still be a little gooey in the center—perfect for a molten chocolate texture!
5. Optional: Add Toppings - Once cooked, feel free to sprinkle a few dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, fruits, or a dusting of cinnamon on top for added flavor and texture.
6. Enjoy Immediately - Dig into your Double Dark Coffee Chocolate Mug Cake while it’s warm for the best texture. The bold coffee and chocolate flavors will make every bite decadent, yet light enough to keep it healthy!
