Chocolate strawberry mug cake

I sort of made this, thinking it wouldn’t work, and it really really did. It has been a repeat recipe ever since, and it happens to be vegan.

Recipe

THE MUG CAKE
1 tsp smooth cashew butter
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp strawberry yogurt
1 heaped tsp cocoa powder + hot water
1 tsp self raising wholemeal flour
1 tsp almond flour
Sprinkle of bicarbonate of soda
Sprinkle of baking powder
1 tsp syrup

TO TOP
1 tbsp strawberry yogurt
Chocolate syrup
1 strawberry
Cacao nibs

Method

1. Add the cashew butter and sugar to a small bowl - cream together with the back of a spoon until it looks fluffy. This should only take about 30 seconds.

2. Add your strawberry yogurt and stir through well, followed by your cocoa powder which has been dissolved in a splash of hot water.

3. Combine well, then add all your dry ingredients, stirring well to combine.

4. Add your syrup of choice, stir well until you have a thick cake batter consistency, then transfer the mixture to a mug or small microwave-safe bowl.

5. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute at 600W, then remove and set aside to rest for a couple of minutes.

6. Top with whatever you want - I used strawberry yogurt, strawberries, chocolate syrup and cacao nibs.

Notes + Variations:

You could just fill this with your favourite chocolate spread too. You actually cant beat Nutella. Biscoff would be good too tbf.
