Resist that warm cake with coffee or tea is not an easy task! Either for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, a chocolate cake is always a good option.

I always try to adapt the recipes to make them as healthy as possible.

The healthy cakes are also very fluffy and tasty, which is a great option to replace the versions made with conventional ingredients, which are not good for your health, and contain ingredients such as refined sugar.

I always try to use organic ingredients, brown or coconut sugar, almond or integral flour, olive oil or coconut oil.

The fast recipe for air fryer chocolate cake does not contain egg and is a great option for vegans. I used 70% cocoa powder, which despite not being very sweet is super healthy.

To bring sweetness to the recipe I added coconut sugar, but you can use any other sugar as you prefer. You can use regular chocolate milk, but be careful, as it is already sweetened, you need to decrease the amount of sugar added or your mug cake in the airfyer will be too sweet.

I also prefer to use olive oil instead of the soy oil. This recipe is very versatile, if you don’t have olive oil, you can use any other vegetable oil you have at homE or even melted butter.

The flour can also be used according to what you have at home, I used organic wheat flour, but almond flour, or rice flour are appropriate.

What are the advantages of including helthy cake in the diet?

Besides all the flavor that healthy cakes offer, they can be great allies in a balanced diet. This is because their ingredients bring benefits to health, unlike the original versions.

Among the advantages of the quick healthy air fryer mug cake satiates the desire to eat sweet, helps regulate the intestine, and contribute to a more balanced life.

how to make the quick chocolate air fryer cake?

This recipe for mug cake in the airfryer is very versatile. If you don’t have an airfryer at home you can use the conventional oven. If this is the option, you should put the cake in a preheated oven at 160 ºC and bake it for 15 minutes.

The same recipe can also be made in the microwave (bake for 1 minute and a half at maximum power). The airfryer or oven option forms a crispy crust, I particularly prefer. In the microwave the cake is more moist.

If you want to improve your cake, you can add chocolate drops in the middle of the batter, it is super delicious.

You can vary the flavor of the chocolate drops, use white chocolate or milk chocolate for example.

A healthier option is to add some blueberries. The acidity of the fruit brings a very special flavor to the recipe.

I use in the chocolate mug cake recipe a spoonful tea of amaretto liqueur. It brings a unique flavor and smell to the recipe.

You can substitute it for another liquor of your preference. Or you can use another alcoholic drink like whisky or the famous Brazilian cachaça.

If you prefer not to use alcohol you can add vanilla essence, or orange zest, it is delicious. This is not a mandatory ingredient.

The baking powder is also not mandatory. In case you don’t have it at home or choose not to use it, you will have the same chocolate cake flavor.

But it is important to emphasize that the baking powder helps the cake to grow, if you do not use it the cake will be as fluffy and will have more the appearance of a air fryer mug brownie.

Easy air fryer mug cake is a great option for those who live alone, because it serves one person. You should use a mug or container (that can stand high temperature), of 200 ml.

If you are making it for more people, just double the recipe according to the number of people and distribute it in the mugs.
