Ingredients for the gluten-free alternative
Replace 1 cup of flour with:
- ½ cup rice flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp locust bean gum
Be sure to reduce the amount of oil to ¾ cup, as the almond flour brings a strong fat content.
PREPARATION
- You do not need a scale for a mug cake. All ingredient quantities are measured with a cup. In this recipe, an empty sour cream cup is used as a measure for the ingredients.
- For the chocolate mug cake, first preheat the oven to 180° C (upper-lower heat).
- Then mix the flour with the baking powder.
- Then mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon.
- Spread the dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 7 minutes at 180 degrees.
- In the meantime, core and slice the apples.
- After 7 minutes, remove the cake from the oven and place the apple pieces on top.
- Bake the cake at 180°C for about 20 minutes.
- While the cake is still warm, spread a thin layer of the well-mixed apricot jam on top.
