Recipe: 1 Cup Molten Cacao Cake

Some days you just really, really, REALLY feel like a sweet treatie… And nothing else is gonna hit the spot!

Instead of reaching for a tasty but totally processed and non-nutritious option, this quick recipe can be prepped up in less than 10 minutes. It’s packed with nutrient-dense ingredients that will nourish your body AND your tastebuds!

It’s gluten free, vegan and serves 1 – trust us, you won’t want to share!

Ingredients

4 tbsp gluten-free flour (self-raising)
3 tbsp rapadura sugar
3 tbsp ground cacao
3 walnuts, chopped
1 pinch of cinnamon & cayenne pepper
½ cup almond milk
¼ cup macadamia oil
¼ cup Kunara bulk dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
6 raspberries
1 dash vanilla essence

METHOD

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large coffee mug.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk remaining liquid ingredients then combine with dry mixture and raspberries in the mug.
3. Place mug in a small oven proof dish filled with water (to a depth of about halfway up the mug).
4. Bake for 50 minutes at a moderate oven. It will form quite a fudgy texture once cooked but should not be burned on top.

If desired, serve with yoghurt, cream, ice cream, coconut cream, melted chocolate, fresh berries… any delicacy of your choice!
