Mug cake

I had written before about the fact that my daughter showed up as positive to being allergic to eggs. We went egg free for awhile, but didn't see any changes positively or negatively. We consulted with our doctor, who recommended we try eggs again and see what happens. So far everything has been fine, so I am really thankful for that! I really feel for those of you who have egg allergies. It makes baking so much harder!

I have been trying to perfect a mug cake that my daughter will eat. I make a chocolate one for my hubby, and he loves it. My daughter isn't a huge chocolate fan. I made this the other day, and my daughter said it tasted like a cross between cake and a muffin. It was a hit! Yay! It is very easy, and quick to make. If you have trouble with the nut flour/butter, you can try substituting with another gluten free flour and omitting the nut butter (add an extra tablespoon of gluten free flour). You may need to add a bit of milk if you substitute the flour.

1 Tablespoon ghee
1 Tablespoon nut butter (I used almond butter)
2 Tablespoons almond flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
Stevia or honey to taste (I taste the batter before I put it in the microwave to cook)
1/2 tsp. (or more) vanilla extract

Melt the ghee and nut butter in a coffee mug in the microwave. Add the remaining ingredients and stir very well (this is important because otherwise you will have chunks of cooked egg in your cake). Taste to see if it is sweet enough. Place the mug in the microwave and cook for 1 minute 15 seconds (or longer if your microwave is not very powerful). The cake will rise way out of the mug, so don't be alarmed! Allow to cool, and enjoy :)!
