Instructions
In a large mug whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder and gingerbread spice.
Add the egg, oil, honey and molasses into the mug and stir vigorously with a fork or small whisk until fully incorporated and combined. Use a small spatula to scrape down the sides and ensure there are no pockets of flour left on the bottom.
Alternatively you could whip up the batter in a small bowl and then transfer to a large mug.
Microwave the mug cake for about 1.5 mins. Since microwaves vary in strength, start checking around 60 seconds and keep microwaving in 15 second bursts until finished.
Let the mug cake cool for a little bit before digging in. Add your toppings of choice and enjoy while warm.
Oven Directions:
If you don't want to use a microwave, you can also bake this mug cake.
The fastest way is to fill the batter into 2-3 cavities of a muffin pan. Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
Baked inside the mug, it takes more like 30 minute at 350° F (exact time depends on the thickness of your mug). Insert a toothpick into the center; the cake is finished when the toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
