In general, cakes are large and having them laying around the house can prove to be too tempting even for the most self-disciplined healthy eaters. If you have celiac disease or are following a gluten-free diet for another reason, it can also be difficult to find a delicious cake you can enjoy. This mug cake is here to solve all of these problems.
Completely gluten-free and only one serving, this is a cake you can enjoy without worrying about what to do with the leftovers. Add to that the fact that dark chocolate contains several of the valuable nutrients your body needs, including fiber, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, and copper, according to the Cleveland Clinic, and you’ve got the perfect way to round out your dinner.
