Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    1 coffee mug
    4 tbs all purpose flour
    4 tbs sugar (using a sweetner will lower the calories even more)

    3 tbs applesauce (instead of 3 tbs oil)
    splash of pure vanilla

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well . Add the egg white and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and applesauce and mix well.
Add the vanilla, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!)
**chocolate chips or anything else you want can be added but will change nutrition facts**

    Was lovely but I tweaked the recipie and used wholemeal flour and used artificial sweetner and I put a bit of crushed walnut in the base and poured hot water over it give it a self sauce effect - 6/11/09

    What, no baking powder? There was 1/4 tsp baking powder in the recipe my friend gave me. I agree with the person who said it was rubbery. Baking powder would have helped. But yes, it's not the same a a real chocolate cake. Still, it works if you're really jonesing for some chocolate. - 6/16/09

    This is a good recipe, one that converts rather easily to low-cal or luscious high-cal. I didn't much care for the texture of the microwave version either, but put it into ramekins and baked it for 15-20 min in my toaster oven. MUCH better texture. :-) Thanks for the recipe! - 7/6/09

    I appreciate the recipe and it did satisfy my sweet tooth, but the texture reminds me a great deal of cocoa wheats. I was hoping this would be like those "warm delights" individual microwave cakes, but to me it wasn't that good. (although better nutritionally). - 10/21/08

    I used whole wheat pastry flour, 2 Tbsp sugar and 2 stevia packets, a pinch of baking powder, 1 Tbsp canola + 2 Tbsp fat free yogurt in place of applesauce, and almond milk. I also added 1 tsp of instant coffee. Only microwave for 2 minutes. Fluffy and incredible! Will use for my nutrition class! - 8/11/09

    I'm eager to try this version. A bit of experience about the texture...The original version I tried said microwave 3 min at 1000 watts. I didn't note that and my first "cake" turned into "Styrofoam"! because my oven was 1200 watts. The next time I baked it less time & it was MUCH, much better try it - 6/16/09

    This was great! I did vary the recipe a bit (I used Stevia, light mayo instead of egg, and a dash of baking powder), and served cake with a teaspoon of natural raspberry jam on top. I still give recipe 5 stars because I would have never heard of this idea otherwise. - 3/29/10

    I'd call this 1 serving.

    for more flavor, add cinnamon or ginger.

    Pulverize some oats to make oat flour (or use prepared oat flour) and you add a ton more fiber and a light nutty texture. - 6/29/10

    Tasted like chocolate rubber. I added 1/4 tsp of baking soda and it tasted more like chocolate cake. I made it again and added a dash of baking powder and a pinch of salt. It turned out ALOT better. I also added some chocolate syrup at the end with out stirring it in to make kindof pike a lava cake. - 1/20/10

    I'm not normally keen on microwave recipes but this was pretty good. The trick to eliminating the rubbery aspect is about an 1/8 tsp if baking powder and making sure to adjust cooking time for your microwave's wattage so you don't overcook it. I will definitely be making this again! - 1/4/10

    I made this as a smaller version, used half the ingredients and used half sugar and half splenda. It was good and will make again. It satisfied by sweet tooth and I felt less guilt about eatting it. My toddler kept saying the hot chocolate cake was good. We added a scoop of fat-free frozen yogurt. - 6/18/09

    Good idea, but poorly executed. Did NOT taste or smell like chocolate-was bitter. I tried it with baking powder and the texture was OK, but not cake-like. I supppose it's fine if you don't care what you eat as long as it somehow resembles chocolate. Too many calories considering the lack of flavor! - 2/24/10

    I substituted Splenda for sugar and used a whole egg instead of 2 whites. The cake was maybe slightly rubbery, but nice and soft and warm - it did satisfy my chocolate craving. That said, the chocolate flavor was really mild. Still good! - 8/15/09

    I added 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1 tbs milk chocolate chips and only one egg white. I used no-cal sweetener. It ended up being ok, kinda rubbery. With the chocolate chips it definitely quelled the chocolate beasts' roar. Not exactly cake, more like cocoa wheats brownies. Still pretty yummy! - 3/4/13

    The cake came out like rubber & was very heavy. I immidiately thought it was a waste of time & didn't plan to make it again. Having said that, after having a small class of almond milk with it, it totally fulfilled the cravy for chocolate cake...so I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought. - 1/24/13

    I can't believe how hit-and-miss this is! My husband and I top this with some Bird's custard and pretend that it is sticky toffee pudding. The only thing we did differently is added 1/4 tbs baking soda to each mug instead of eggs. Everything else is the same (and awesome!). - 10/19/12

    I also used the 3/4 tsp lite mayo and added a dash of baking powder as well as a dash of Torani SF caramel syrup. Cooled a little then topped with dollop FF cool whip and a drizzle of SF caramel. YUM - 9/15/12

    Good chocolate cake - eating just 1/2 gave me just the chocolate fix I needed. This is a good recipe for a young beginner cook. It's easy to follow, simple ingredients and fun to watch cooking in the microwave. My 10 year old grandaughter loved making this and wants to make another soon. - 5/16/12

    I don't know why, but this reminded me of my little baking oven when I was little. The recipe sounds good. - 5/14/12

    I used oat flour since I am allergic to wheat. It fit perfect in my campbell's soup mug. It was the perfect cake for me! I haven't had cake since 2010 and I missed it so much. Finally! A comfort food I can eat! (and share with my kids... lordy I that was filling!) - 4/30/12

    I should have read the reviews BEFORE making it... not very flavourful, not the greatest texture... one of my 3 kids ate it.... oh well, got to try things before we know.. oh well.. - 4/18/12

    It satisfied my sweet tooth. Definitely rubbery, but I halved the recipe and added 1/2 cup icecream so it made it less of a big deal. Will definitely try the suggestions below, I wish I'd read them beforehand! - 4/13/12

    this was a wonderful novel idea! I enjoyed making it. Though my favorite part about cakes are icing and all the gooey stuff so it didn't satisfy my cake craving like i had hoped. did add baking soda, plain flour can't rise w/out baking soda or powder. - 3/28/12

    Pretty good. I added a pinch of baking powder also. It was still a little gooey, but overall pretty tasty. Given that it only takes about 5 minutes from start to finish to make this, I will probably make it again. I like that it's only two servings. - 3/1/12

    Added 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 of instant coffee. Whipped the egg whites and followed them into the batter. Dash of kosher salt. Split it into 2 coffee cups. Served with zero calorie whipped topping and a few rasberries to cut the chocolate. It was yummy. - 2/24/12

    Got a craving for chocolate ? Look for a sugar free receipe for Chocolate Lava Cake. Will have no white flour or sugar and has the same dense texture. It's the best ! - 2/14/12

    For folks on a low carb rather than low fat diet, I adapted this recipe using almond flour, coconut oil, and a few more substitutions:

    Impressive for a chocolate craving quick fix! Simple enough to eat plain, but jazzing it up with chocolate chips might not be a bad idea. Really great! - 1/27/12

    It was ok, but I mixed the batter really well, and some parts had actual scrambled eggs. - 1/5/12

    I just made this for my son. It was overcooked after only 2 minutes. Like others, he said it tasted like a chocolate sponge. Don't bother! - 10/7/11

    Great little treat..I added baking power to mine. It wasn't very sweet so I drizzled some chocolate fruit dip I had and it was just right! Cut it up in bit size and got dessert for the whole family. My 5 yr old enjoyed mixing, watching it cook, and said "it tastes beautiful" lol - 9/26/11
