Ingredients
1
cup
gluten-free flour
I use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 GF flour
¾
cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
4
teaspoons
instant coffee/espresso powder
I use Starbucks VIA packets!
1-½
teaspoons
gluten-free baking powder
1
cup
(2 sticks) vegan butter, melted in a large bowl
1
cup
granulated sugar
1
cup
packed light brown sugar
4
large eggs
1-½
teaspoons
vanilla extract
¼
teaspoon
almond extract
½
cup
dairy-free chocolate chips
I love the Enjoy Life chocolate chips
Instructions
Lightly butter the insides of 6-7 oven-safe mugs or ramekins.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee/espresso granules, and baking powder.
In the large bowl containing the melted (and cooled slightly) butter, add and whisk together the granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time until well blended.
Add vanilla and almond extracts, and whisk again until blended.
Add dry ingredients to the large bowl of wet ingredients and gently fold all ingredients together.
Pour batter into prepared mugs or ramekins, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
Gently press chocolate chips into the top of the batter.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Let the mugs stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before placing them on top of a cookie sheet (I use perforated cookie sheets).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Use a toothpick to test doneness; if it comes out clean from the enter of a cake, it's done! Be careful not to overbake these.
Notes
Rising tip:
If your mug cakes don't rise, try increasing your rising agent by using a bit more baking powder.
