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.

GENIUS!!
You want a ‘glaze’ for this? Super easy… 1 T. coconut oil melted with 1 T. chocolate chips… mix and drizzle over the cake. I also added about 1/8t. coconut extract, but that’s totally optional. 🙂
I made your recipe last night. The husband was skeptical, but was totally won over by the 2nd bite.
Good call, JB. Delish.
Wiccccked!! Thanks Nicole!! Glad you and your husband liked it!
Eating this with a glass of Chameleon Cold Brew as we speak! So delish. Thank you SO much for the recipe and the coffee recommendation!
Damn girl. Sounds like you are having the best day ever!!
I hate that I know how to make this now. I added a dollop of almond butter after it “baked”.
holy balls
just made ’em. Not as good as the classic chocolate cake but man, 3 min prep? I love you 😀
This RULED!! I’d planned on making your coffee caramel bars last night, but life got in the way…so I had to “settle” for badass cake in a mug.
I added chilled and whipped coconut milk frosting to the top, once I’d let it cool a bit. If you add a teeny bit of sweetener and some vanilla extract to chilled coconut milk (just the solid part in a can), it’s a dead ringer for vanilla buttercream. YUM!!
I am Pooh bear when it comes to honey *roar* so I don’t keep any in the house. Lame, I know. Anyway! In case there are other fellow Pooh bears reading this – I use mashed banana instead. And sub coffee for cocoa powder (and then chop a couple of figs/dates as a topping if needed lol). Consume with your morning coffee and you’ll kick ass the whole day.
p.s. I’ve been silently stalking your blog for a few weeks now and finally decided to stop being rude. So umm hello! *big wave* Love your blog, love your humour, and all the best at the competition!
Yum! My partner and I loved this cake. The house smelled wonderful for at least an hour. We thought the servings too big, though. I’m planning to use your basic recipe to make a paleo version of my old favorite apple cake, a red velvet version, a mint version,,,,!.
ummm shut the microwave door that was delicious!!! My friend told me about your website and all I have to say is she is getting a seriously large birthday present..love your writing style as well 🙂 Thanks!!
