Gluten free spice cake in a mug on left, gluten full on right |
This recipe wins absolutely no prizes for beauty, but it is deserving of nearly every other prize.
This morning I was heading out to a get together with friends, where coffee and cake are usually served, and since I don't eat gluten (or drink coffee) I usually eat nothing or try to bring along my own thing. After sending my kids off to school this morning, I had a little extra time so decided to make myself something gluten free, egg free, and dairy free to bring along. I have a recipe for such a chocolate cake in a mug (that I haven't shared yet, since I'm still tweaking it) but I couldn't find my cocoa powder, so decided to go with spice cake instead.
It came out amazing, absolutely unbelievable.
Super easy too, no mess, and ready in just a few minutes.
You cook this in the microwave and it's exactly one serving.
After I made mine, I made a gluten full version for Lee to have. He also loved it.
I shared mine with someone who came to this get together whose kid is allergic to so many things but this recipe doesn't have most of the common allergens, so it's super exciting.
While I didn't make mine vegan, since I used honey, it can just as easily be vegan if you use maple syrup or jaggery syrup as the sweetener.
Basically, if you like spice cake, try this one out. It's worth it! And takes less than 10 minutes from when you even had the idea to be able to eat this.
