Second, as a consequence of an superior sale at my native efficiently being meals retailer, I’m at current effectively stocked on my favourite Dagoba chocolate, which can be very helpful seeing as I’ve been dealing with some important chocolate cravings within the current day.
Just some squares of chocolate or a handful of chocolate chips is normally ample to get the job carried out, nonetheless the completely utterly totally different day I found myself with a reasonably intense eager for chocolate cake. What’s a girl to do?!? I didn’t have the time or ought to whip up an entire chocolate cake from scratch, nonetheless my craving wished to be glad yesterday so I did what any chocolate-crazed specific explicit individual would do — I made myself a single slice of cake… in a mug.

Let’s merely say it killed my eager for chocolate cake. Nonetheless ample about me and my cravings — let’s talk about cake.
Just some notes about this one.

Irrespective of — it’ll be worth it in the long run. This recipe’s a keeper.
Second, I do know the recipe says that chocolate chips are non-compulsory, nonetheless they’re really not.

Fourth, although I set up it chocolate cake, it’s actually pretty healthful (nonetheless shhhh… don’t inform). The protein and fat from the egg and the fibre from the coconut flour make for a balanced snack that’s good for when that afternoon hunch hits. And no crazy sugar highs or lows — I promise.
