When that chocolate craving hits but you want something nourishing, this simple mug cake has you covered. Made with a handful of real ingredients and Purition Chocolate!

INGREDIENTS

• 40g Purition Chocolate
• 3 tbsp ground almonds
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract - optional but if you have it, definitely use it

METHOD

1. Make this cake in the mug you'll cook it in
2. Place the dry ingredients (40g Purition Chocolate, ground almonds, pinch of salt) into the mug. Stir to combine.
3. Add the egg, maple syrup, olive oil and vanilla to the mix. Whisk with a fork until you have a smooth cake batter. 
4. Make sure the mug isn't filled to the brim - leave around 2cm at the top so it doesn't spill over. 
5. Place the mug in the microwave. Cook for 60 seconds. Check on the cake - if it's still a little undercooked, cook for a further 10-20 seconds until it's done to your liking (microwave ovens can vary a lot).
6. Serve immediately while it's nice and warm. Add toppings if you like!
7. We added an extra drizzle of maple syrup and some chopped pistachios - a dollop of yoghurt or cream would be nice too!
