Chocolate Fudge Cake in a Cup

Chocolate Fudge Cake in a Cup

If you are on facebook, you've seen the recipe for cake in a cup.  Well here it is in all it's glory and I have to say this one is exceptionally good!  I topped mine off with peanut butter chocolate frosting and sprinkled with coconut and pecans too.

Makes:  1 Cake in a Cup

Ingredients

1 T. and 2 t. of cocoa powder 

3 T. flour

1 T. and 2 t. sugar

1/4 t. baking powder

2 t. coconut oil

3 T. milk 

1/2 t. vanilla

Directions

Mix all the dry ingredients in a small bowl.  Set aside. 

In a small microwavable bowl, add the milk and vanilla.  Put the coconut oil in a coffee cup.   Microwave both about 20 seconds.  Take out the milk and vanilla.  Continue to microwave the coconut oil until it is melted, about 10 additional seconds.  Once the coconut oil is melted, swirl it around your cup and put the rest into the bowl with the milk and vanilla. 

Coat the cup with a little flour, so the cake will pop out easier.  Mix the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients. 

Using a spatula, scrape the batter out of the bowl and place it in the coffee cup. Smooth the batter evenly in the cup.  Bake in the microwave for 40 seconds.  No peeking!  Take it out of the oven and allow to cool. 

 Gently pull the cake away from the edges with a knife.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

Or if you are feeling a little more adventurous, remove the cake from the cup.  (I used a 4 inch souffle dish).  Frost with my Peanut Butter Frosting!  Sprinkle with some coconut and pecans too! 

ENJOY!!!
