Ingredients

4 tbsp All-purpose flour
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/8 tsp Baking soda
1/8 tsp Salt
1.5 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Cocoa powder
2 tbsp Coconut oil
2 tbsp Coconut milk
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Dairy free chocolate or Dark chocolate (70%) chips Of course you can add more!!
8-10 Cherries, pitted and halved

Instructions

Combine all the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder in a small bowl.
Whisk with a fork to break up all lumps.
Stir in the wet ingredients - coconut oil, milk, vanilla extract. Mix well. You should have a thick batter.
If the batter seems too dry, add another tablespoon of milk.
Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.
Transfer the mixture into a microwave-friendly mug or ramekin. Place a plate underneath ( to catch any overflow).
Sprinkle some chocolate chips if you like.
Set the plate in your microwave and cook for 1 minute and 15 seconds. You may have to cook for another 30 seconds, depending on your microwave.
Let the cake cool down for a few minutes and then serve it warm, with or without ice cream! Enjoy!

Notes

Mix the cake batter just until all ingredients are combined for a light and tender cake. Overmixing can make the cake dense.

Place a plate underneath the mug in the microwave to catch any spillover.

Microwave immediately after mixing the batter to ensure a fluffy texture.

Use a big mug so the cake can rise gloriously!

Serve with ice cream for an added layer of indulgence. Is there anything better than the combination of warm cake and cold ice cream?
