Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large oversize mug or small cereal bowl in the microwave - usually about 10 seconds.
2. Put flaxseed meal, dry spices, baking powder & cocoa powder into a measuring cup and mix well.
3. Add the egg and sweetener to the butter and mix thoroughly, then add dry ingredients and mix again.
4. Float the square of the dark chocolate in the middle of the batter.
5. Microwave for about 45 seconds to 1 minute - more if you increase the flax. The top should look fairly wet and not be dried out. You can always put it back in for more time if you want it more dried out.
6. Carefully turn over the mug or bowl and plate. If there is gooey chocolate on the bottom, you can scrape it out with a spatula or just eat with a spoon. :-)
Topping/Frosting Ideas:
- Enjoy it straight up and warm, or if you can afford extra carbs and calories or it's for a birthday celebration:
A. It is divine with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a healthy pour of sf syrup, and a sprinkle or two of cinnamon. Whipped cream will melt from the warm cake, so a truly stable substance like cool whip will stay prettier, but won't taste as good. Your choice!
B. You could shave another square of SF chocolate on top of the whipped cream and dust a little cocoa powder over everything.
C. Make a quick ganache topping by melting 2 squares SF chocolate into 2-3 tbsp. butter or heavy cream - butter will get more solid when cool, cream will be softer. Microwave 10-20 seconds in a small bowl or cup, stir thoroughly, and pour onto cake before it cools.

Making it healthier: If you want to increase the fiber, you can simply add more flax - up to double - without needing to change the other ingredients except the SF syrup. You will probably want to add another square of chocolate, though, so as not to have to ration out just one square for so much cake!

How did I calculate this?
Nutrition info is calculated based upon mexican variation, but it's only a few cals./minor carbs more than plain or mocha.

Enjoy and please comment if you make this.

I keep mine frozen. I make MIMs a lot. This sounded great and WAS wonderful-chocolaty! But your "cake" crumb was a bit dry, a bit coarse, and not very sweet. The chocolate WAS melted, but it was nothing but a tiny dot of melted chocolate -- NOTHING like a MOLTEN cake. I prefer my own moister version - 8/15/13

For a quick, healthy, 4.4 carb sweet craving fix this is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I grind my own flaxseed for meal in a coffee mill as I need it as it goes rancid rather quickly and tastes absolutely awful. - 9/1/12

Hi, read the recipe, and I have a pretty similar one I came up with for chocolate muffins. I know why the previous rater had issues with your recipe:
it was made with rancid flax meal -->> bitter!!
there is no way this can be bitter as written.
Cheers! - 5/17/12

This was grainy and bitter. Too expensive in money and calories to be worth it. - 5/29/11

I'm sorry you did not like the recipe. Were you aware this is a LOW CARB recipe, so avoiding calories is not the goal here? In my humble opinion, I think it's really delicious, but no way does a flax muffin recipe compare to a white flour muffin recipe made with real sugar, if that was your basis!
