Tors Cake

Yes, it does feel a little indulgent to name a cake after myself - my husband started calling 
it Tors Cake and it stuck.  It's a little desert that has become a favourite in our home.  It's so simple that it's a great one to do with kids and they get to pick the flavours!  But it's also perfect for a single snack - or to enjoy it with a friend.  The base is gluten, dairy and sugar free and you can flavour it with almost anything! 

You will never look back, it takes 2-3 minutes to mix up and 4 minutes in the microwave.  Because there's natural fats in the coconut flour it will turn out of the mug or dish you are cooking it in and you can either serve it in the mug or on a plate.  It's also a great desert for any of you guys out there looking to impress your date with a desert that you made all by yourself!  

Base Recipe

1 Egg

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

How to make it

Mix the egg and the water in a big mug, then add the coconut flour, baking powder and any of the below flavours - or get creative and make your own flavours!  When it's all mixed together into a batter you want to cook it in a microwave for 4 minutes.  If it's still a little moist in the middle add another 30 seconds.  It might take a few tries to find out exactly the right timing for your microwave but start out with 4 minutes, then add 10 -20 seconds at a time until the cake is cooked through - you might want it a little soft in the middle (sometimes I do!).
