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.

Ok so…you may have…no probably did…ummmm….save the husband from having to deal with an OMGIWANTCHOCOLATECAKEANDIWANTITNOW! meltdown tonight. We both thank you! lol
Simple recipe, amazing results. My microwave cooked it at about a minute.
Oh and playing hide a teaspoon of almond butter in the center? Oh yeah baby! lol
I didn’t have coconut flour so I used plain dried coconut flakes and it still tasted awesome. Thx for satisfying my chocolate cake fix. This is a keeper.
this so satisfied the chocolate monster inside yumo thanks
Ok, so yôu freaking ROCKED! My world with this recipe. Thanks Juli as always your amazing
Just made this tonight and since it was not sweet I made icing which consisted of homemade almond milk and organic powdered sugar. I really like that this used coconut and almond flour. I also added some shredded coconut for a little crunch.
My 5 & 3 year old are digging into their cake in a mug as we speak!!! And loving every bite:-) thanks for another great recipe!! God bless!
Oh LAWD! I think I love you! I don’t have walnut oil, so i subbed coconut oil and microwaved it for about 15 seconds before I added the rest of the ingredients. The first time I made it, it was just a tad drier than I would have liked, so I took 30 seconds off the microwave time this go round and it is just perfect! I also subbed Agave in version 2.0, because that’s what I had. Worked like a charm! If want to try with walnut oil, I bet it adds a nice nutty flavor.
Love your website and up beat style. Wish I could say I loved this…sadly it was vile. I ate a quarter as I was so desperate for a cocoa fix but had to bin the rest. It was dry and the texture was cloying. Like Shelly, I’m a pretty good cook but this one eluded me…
Can I substitute anything for the honey to make it 21dsd friendly??
no. it needs some kind of sweetener
I have learned that cooking these mug cakes at 70% power makes them moister than full power.
Thanks for the recipe!
