Craving-Killer Chocolate Cake for One

So, once again, it's been awhile since my last post. It seems that getting ready to move 2000 miles away has left me with very little time to experiment in the kitchen! However, there is one thing I've made a couple times, and it's a life-saver when I'm stressed and needing something chocolate and yummy. And the best part? It's a total indulgence of heavenly chocolate cake goodness for just under 200 calories. I've never put toppings on it, but if you want to top it with something, I'm sure agave nectar, fruit jam, fresh fruit, or homemade frosting would all be delicious with it :) So, fill a glass of almond milk to drink with your cake, and get ready to try this super quick, easy, and yummy recipe!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons Splenda

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon almond milk

1/4 teaspoon plus a couple drops of vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Mix together the dry ingredients first, then add in the vegetable oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract--stir very well. This will be a little thicker than regular cake batter, but not as thick as cookie dough.

Lightly spray a small glass plate with cooking oil. Roll the cake batter into a ball in your hands, and then place on the plate and flatten slightly--it should look like a big chocolate cookie.

Put that in the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds. Voila! You've got your uber quick and easy chocolate cake for one. Enjoy!
