I know this picture sucks, but I had 3 minutes to take a picture. Busy days. Desperate measures. And I wanted to eat it. You know my self control.
Coffee cake still doesn’t make sense to me. There’s no coffee in it. I mean, I get it. You eat it with coffee. When I was younger, my good ole’ ma and I would go to a donut shop and get coffee cake donuts. I never ate them with coffee, so the name was dumb to me, but efffffffin’ A did I love them. I mean LOVE. And this little cake in a mug is pretty damn close to what it tasted like. And just so you know, I never called my mother, ma. Ever.
Sometimes, I really wish I didn’t love food so much. I’m pretty sure I’d be much smaller. And my thighs wouldn’t rub together while I ran. Then I could wear shorts!! But alas, I love food just way too much. Dang it.
So the other day, I walked out of a spin class 10 minutes early because I was so bored with the music. She was playing music from the Thriller era. I can’t sprint to that. I just can’t. I’m sure people feel that way about my music in the gym BUT….I got nothing. Now I know how it feels.
Has anyone else seen the Durex commercial for their massage stuff? Anyone else think it’s weird that the two people making out in the shower have clothes on? I do. I think it’s super weird. And unrealistic.
Enough about weird stuff I like to talk about. Let’s talk about a couple paleo products I’m into right now. Just a couple. If you’re looking for a snack that’s already made for you, you need to check out these 2 products.
- Nohmad Snacks. They have all raw snacks which include chocolate chip and carrot cake cookies. AND raw chocolates like peppermint crunch and hazelnut with sea salt. I was STOKED when I tried these snacks. I absolutely love them. And right now, if you use the promo code ‘paleomg’ you will get free shipping on orders over $25!! Woot! Cool noise, eh?
- Kolat Fusion nut butters. Like, whoa. Delicious. I even used one of their products in my mini ice cream pops. Their nut butter flavors include Blueberry Cinnamon Walnut, Dark Chocolate Coconut, Cherry Vanilla Almond, and Espresso Hazelnut. I want to swim in their nut butters. Well, that was weird.
And just so you guys know, this is definitely my favorite cake in a mug. I’ve made a chocolate cake and a 21DSD pumpkin cake both in mugs, but this one is the best so far. You’re gonna LOVE it. Like for real foo.

I can’t wait to eat this cake later. Or maybe two of them…
I HATE wearing shorts. Even when I work out. But it’s a bajillion degrees in Texas right now, so if I wear my capris, I’ll not only burn up, but also get a pretty terrible tan. So I feel your pain. DOWN WITH SHORTS! EAT MORE FOOD!
Julie, come to NYC and take a SoulCycle class. Your mind will be blown. I promise!
Holy WOW! Definitely just as good, if not better than the chocolate cake in a mug. All I had was palm sugar and that worked just as well. The topp
It looks both tasty and great.
I think I love you! I never make coffee cake because I’ll eat the whole thing in one sitting. This is going on my must make list.
not sure if anyone asked already, buuut, is it possible to bake this in the oven? I don’t do the microwave thing.
This looks amazing. I can’t wait to try it. Just out of curiosity… I bought some Walnut Oil. Have you ever used it? Does it work well as a sub? Also, do you still cook with Avocado Oil?
Also, if you are a fan of ginger cookies, these are amazing.

To date… they are my fav paleo cookie.
Jamee, I’m not Juli, but thought I would chime in your question since I have used Walnut oil before.
It has a VERY strong walnut flavor and should not really be cooked with (unrefined has the same smoke point as olive oil and burns more easily), it’s more of a dressing oil or finishing oil. I think you could get away with it in this recipe since it will only “cook” for 3 minutes, but your cake will taste only of walnut.
Thank you Kate. I might give it a try.
I can’t get this recipe to print correctly. Anyone else have this issue?
I didn’t have any applesauce in the house to make this, but I did have some of your apple fig butter left in the fridge. So I decided to use that instead. I have I say it was still amazing!!!
This sounds so good! I love to mix flours like this. Can’t wait to try it!
