  2. Awesome! Rich chocolate taste. It took about 2 minutes to cook in my microwave.

  4. Has anyone ever used coconut flour instead? I am out of almond flour.

  5. made this with coconut flour. it created about 3 tablespoons of chocolate crumble after just over a minute – two minutes would’ve been charcoal. it is really good but not cake. :)

  6. to make it healthier n’ only takes a few mins more, toss into an oven safe pan/container n’ pop it in the toaster oven… microwaves kill food and denature proteins, etc… it’s worth the extra few mins:)

  7. OMG, made my day! Great flavor and pretty good cake texture for so little work! Love it! ( I checked it after 30 seconds, and it only needed about another 20 seconds..)

  8. I made this exact recipe only used 2 tsp coconut flour. I will try it again in a few with the almond flour. I only cooked it for 1 minute! I did one the night before and did the whole 3 minutes, BIG MISTAKE! I couldn’t even break it apart with a fork. Definitely no more than a minute. :)

  9. I tried this and it worked perfectly!! I used one of those larger mugs that looks like a small bowl with a handle. Maybe this recipe works best with that option? I was thrilled that I was eating CAKE from the microwave haha when I was craving something sweet. This person is a genius, thank you for posting this. Ill prob make this tonight for me and my hubby.

  10. @Shelly – you’re spot on about microwaving. It changes the molecular structure of food and it very bad for your heart, among other things.
