Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake!

Hello and welcome!

Today I want to share with you a recipe I recently found on how to make a Vegan Chocolate Mug Cake!
Now that its October and the weather is getting colder, wouldn't love to cozy up on a dark and chilly night with a lovely warm mug of chocolate cake. I know I would! And you vegans can too.

What you'll need:
4 tbsp s.f. flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp sugar
3 tsp oil
4 tbsp almond milk (or soya, cocount, or whatever other substitute)
optional: lightly crushed nuts or (dairy free) chocolate chips

Put all ingredients into your favourite mug and stir it up
Bake in the microwave for about a minute. You can make it for a minutes longer if you want it really "cakey"

And there you go! A super easy vegan mug cake :D

See you next time <3
