Ingredients
Mug Cake
- 2 Tbs. butter or non-dairy alternative Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks
- ¼ cup 34 grams gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbs. cane sugar
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 1 egg yolk see this article for egg substitution options
- 1 Tbs. milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
Wine Soaked Prunes
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup red wine
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 20 prunes pitted
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Gluten Free Vanilla Mug CakeMelt butter in a large mug in the microwave for approximately 40 seconds.
- In a small bowl, whisk dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the liquid ingredients, then stir in the dry mix and the melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the mug and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
- Microwave on high for 60-80 seconds (time differs on microwave power, so watch closely so the cake won’t burn); remove when the top is no longer wet looking and the cake is pulling away from the sides. If the cake, once removed, is tough and dark brown on the bottom, it is overcooked (but luckily it will only take a minute to whip up another!).
- Top with ice cream, whipped cream, fresh berries or Wine Soaked Prunes (see below for recipe). Serves 1 or 2, if you’re in the mood to share.
- Wine Soaked PrunesHeat all ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat. The liquid should cover the prunes, so select a pan that is not too wide. Simmer and stir the prunes periodically for 10-15 minutes, or until the prunes are very tender and have started to fall apart a bit. If the prunes are very dry, this process may take longer.
- Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled over ice cream, whipped cream, vanilla mug cake or overnight oats.
- Serves 6.
