The BEST 250 calorie chocolate mug cake
This chocolate mug cake is ultra chocolate-y, super moist and only 250 calories (including frosting!).
Equipment
- 1 Medium bowl
- 1 Mug
Ingredients
- 60 g 0% fat yogurt
- 30 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp 0 calorie sweetener
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tbsp boiling water
Chocolate frosting
- 50 g lightest cream cheese
- 10 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Mix all the cake ingredients together in a medium bowl until smooth and there are no lumps.
- Pour the mixture into a mug - you want to ensure your mug has enough room left over for the cake to rise without overflowing.
- Microwave on high for 60s.
- Whilst the cake cools, make the frosting by mixing the cream cheese, icing sugar and cocoa powder.
- Once the cake has completely cooled, top with the frosting and enjoy.
Notes
Yogurt - This recipe uses 0% fat natural yogurt but you can use any 0% fat yogurt. You can replace with a dairy free alternative which would make this recipe completely vegan!
Espresso - I used espresso powder for this recipe but you can totally use an espresso shot or granulated coffee - I've tried both and they work great. If using an espresso shot - leave out the boiling water. If using granulated coffee/instant coffee - mix the coffee with the boiling water until its completely dissolved then add to the rest of the ingredients. If you are not a fan of the taste of coffee - you can leave the espresso out.
Microwave - My microwave is 700W and the cake took 60 seconds to cook. If you're using a different wattage microwave, divide 42,000 by the wattage of your microwave to get the amount of time for your mug cake to be done in your microwave.
