The 2-Minute Cake

The first time I made this it took me a bit longer then 2 minutes . . .
This is a recipe from Jorge Cruise.  Jorge Cruise has created a diet plan that cuts sugar and carbs.  My dad lost TONS of weight following his plan.  This is a recipe from one of his books.  It is very simple, however, some of the ingredients are a bit pricey, like the almond flour.  But, it is a good alternative to sugary sweets.

Mix 1/4 cup Truvia Baking Blend*, 1/2 cup almond flour, 3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/8 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2 Tbsp. coconut oil, 1 egg, 2 Tbsp. half & half. Pour 1/4 of mixture into a mug and microwave for 60 seconds. Refrigerate remaining batter for later.


Note: Feel free to top with whipped cream.

*Truvia Baking Blend is an all natural sweetener that combines erythritol, stevia, and small amounts of natural sugar. It might not be available everywhere.  Feel free to experiment with other all natural sweeteners, but make sure to avoid anything artificial.

The first time I made this I didn't think that 1/4 of the mixture was all that much, but it is so rich that you really don't want to eat more then that.  I tried it once with sugar free chocolate frosting, and that was okay, but I strongly recommend topping it with whipped cream.  It is delicious!  And, don't let the funky smell fool you when you take it out of the microwave . . .
