The best thing about this delicious gluten free vegan chocolate mug cake is that it is ready in just 5 minutes, cooking time included. So it is the perfect homemade treat for an impatient toddler. I used to make this gluten free vegan chocolate mug cake with my nephew when he was 2. He loved making it with me and the waiting time while it cooked was not too long for him.
Now, aged 5, this mug cake is still one of my nephew's favorite treats. But he also loves my Almond flour Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread, my Flambeed Banana (without alcohol of course) and my Butternut squash chocolate fondant cake.

📖 Ingredient notes
- Dark chocolate chips. Make sure to check the ingredients: dark chocolate may contain dairy and/or soy. So make sure it is compliant with your own diet restrictions.
- Whole rice flour. Whole rice flour is also called brown rice flour. This flour has a neutral taste (unlike buckwheat flour which tastes pretty strong) that doesn't cover the other ingredients' taste. If you're not gluten free, you can use your regular all purpose flour.
- Powdered sugar of your choice. You can either use unrefined cane sugar, muscovado, coconut sugar...
- Gluten free baking powder. Again, make sure to check the ingredients before buying your baking powder, as some brands may have gluten in it. So be careful to select gluten free baking powder.
