- 3 Tbs. vegetable oil e.g. safflower, sunflower, coconut – melted, etc.
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract – [omit for lemon cake]
- 3 Tbs. milk dairy or nondairy – [for lemon cake, use 2 Tbs. milk + 1 Tbs. lemon juice]
- 4 Tbs. 34 grams gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour] – [for lemon cake, use 5 Tbs. gfJules™ Flour (43 grams)
- 4 Tbs. granulated cane sugar
- 2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa – for lemon cake use 1 Tbs. milk powder, dairy or non-dairy (I use [Coconut Milk Powder])
- 3 Tbs. chocolate chips dairy or nondairy (Enjoy Life Foods® or Pascha® Organic Allergen-Free Chocolate]) (optional) – [for lemon cake, add 1 Tbs. lemon zest instead
- 1 large microwave-safe mug

Instructions
- The cake may be made in the mug itself, or mixed in a bowl and added to the mug for baking.
- Whisk the liquids together. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a small whisk or fork. Add the chocolate chips or lemon zest and stir again.
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes. Microwaves differ in power, so you may need to add 1 minute more; watch for the cake to rise as an indication it is done. The cake will fall a bit as it cools –if you can wait that long!
- Serves: 1-2
