I’m sure you’ve all heard of cake in a mug – but did you know you can make it vegan? Of course – you can make anything vegan it seems. It wasn’t as sweet as I expected, but both David and I agreed it was still good – and it’s always better not to have too much sugary goodness!
adapted from Eat’n Veg’ns Recipe
Vegan Cake in a Mug
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 flax egg
3 tablespoons non-dairy milk
3 tablespoons oil
dash vanilla
1 tablespoon mini-chocolate chips, optional, but recommended
First, get the Flax Egg started so it can sit for 5 minutes (mix 1 tbsp of milled flax seed with 3 tbsp of water, let sit for 5 minutes) while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Mix all the dry ingredients first, then mix in the wet ingredients. Cook for 3 minutes in the microwave or until done. I just sprinkled the top with some chocolate chips (not mini) – but next time would mix in some mini chocolate chips. We served it with rice cream on top.
PS – mine looked nothing like the photo, but it’s pretty isn’t it?

Megan, every few months I love to read your blog. I am inspired by your writings and your vulnerability. I remember talking to you when you were in the pizza, hot dog stage and to see where you are now –how you have developed better tastes, it is such a thrill. I enjoy reading about your culinary and thrifty adventures. I am still on your challenge of not shopping at Walmart. I think I had to enter the store once last fall for something that I couldn’t find anywhere else (I made a ton of phone calls to avoid that shopping trip). Take a look at this website: http://www.101cookbooks.com I have tried quite a few of her recipes and they have ALL been hits with my kids and husband.
