Paleo Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Stop right now. Stop thinking I'm a genius. This idea was not mine. I altered it and made it to what I think is better, and you know I'm always right. So I guess you can still think of me as a genius. And worship me. Wow, that was a bold statement. I'm kidding about that. We all know I'm just a single female with crazy hormones who needs a chocolate fix regularly. Thank god for google which led me to Paleo Perfectly who answered my prayers for an easy, delicious chocolate cake on a Sunday afternoon, hungover, while alone at my house.


Let's talk about girl things. If you didn't know by now, I'm a female....a super single female to be exact. I make that clear in about....every blog post. But here's my issue. I dress in spandex EVERY DAY. And I wear a headband EVERY DAY. It's my job. I coach then I workout. Hard life. But I tend to lose my femininity. So what did I do this week?! I got my hair did. Oh yes I did! My amazing friend Baylee from Rebel Salon did a fantastic job, adding multiple colors and layers. I know you all care so much about this and all, but I had to tell you.

So you know what I did with my new hair-do? I styled it, put on a dress that becomes shorter with every step, AND added a pair of boots to the mix. I proceeded to add strong drinks, drinks meaning shots, and found my way to the dancefloor at Blake Street Tavern. The whole plan of this night was to look cute enough to get a number, hopefully by a sober male who loves CrossFit, is hilarious, and loves paleo baked goods. Let's be realistic, that failed. I was flailing across the dancefloor with all couples. I looked cool, real cool.


To sum up this night, I don't like drinking. The cleaner I eat, the less I drink, the more my body hates when I do mean things to it. So to recover from poisoning my body, I made paleo cake in a mug, watched 'Chopped' on my computer, and curled up in my bed trying not to vomit. Thank goodness for being single. When you're single, you can make yourself paleo cake in a mug, on a Sunday afternoon, and no one can tell you any different. You can sport headbands, spandex, and an uncomfortable odor that no one in the room will talk about, and that's cool! And you can flail across the dancefloor, never getting hit on, and that's perfect. Being single is so fantastic.

What you need:
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1.5 tablespoons almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons walnut oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
What you do:
  1. Add all ingredients to a mug.
  2. Mix all ingredients well with a spoon.
  3. Microwave for 3 minutes.
  4. Consume.

  1. So I have definitely eaten the original recipe multiple nights in a row. Since you say this is better I must put your theory to the test. It's definitely for the good of the people. What people? I don't know. I just want to eat the cake. Again.

    BTW, this post was hella funny. And it takes talent to make a post about cake in a mug comical. Seriously.

  3. Hooray for chocolate! And thank God you're alive too. I was really starting to get worried for a while there. My work days have been boring as hell without your constantly varied humor mixed in. Maybe I'll try this on a Sat night instead of the pint of coconut milk ice cream I tend to knockout in one sitting. Which, by the by, I blame you for as well.

  4. Lol thanks the WholeMom, cakes always seems comical to me. Especially when I'm falling asleep into my mug of chocolate from my hangover.

    Nik-I think you may be the best flailer around.

    Damon- I just posted something new just for you! It's not that interesting nor a good story, but I tried. I tried real hard. Wouldn't want you to be bored at work!!

  7. Delicious! I'm thinking of trying to use the oven instead of the microwave. Then add some cinnamon whipped cream!

  8. this is FUNNY! I just stumbled across this post per a microwave cake google search and I'm glad I did! I too am single and have found that the cleaner I eat the worse it hurts when I booze it up in my all-too-rare-thesedays nights out on the town. Too bad you live in CO, I sneakily feel like we'd be friends:)

  12. If I ever can't find this stupid recipe that I should be able to remember because I've made it so many times and it's easy I think my husband might divorce me.... well maybe not divorce but it would be very serious.

    SHEW - I found it again. Completely dependent on your site. THANKS - I think.... :-)
