In a microwave-safe coffee mug (minimum size 1 cup/250ml), whisk together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar-free sweetener, and baking powder.
Whisk in almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until a batter forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips - keep a few to add on top - or keep the batter plain.
Microwave on high power (900W) for about 60 seconds, or until you see the cake rising to its maximum height. Remove from the microwave carefully. It is hot, and check the texture. It should be moist and soft.
Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired, or add a dollop of yogurt for a boost of protein.
Baking option
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease an oven-proof ramekin with oil, add the cake batter and bake for 12-18 minutes until cooked through.
Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.
Notes
Note 1: Any milk you like works well. Note 2: Any sugar works including coconut sugar, unrefined cane sugar, and any low-carb sugar-free sweeteners like erythritol, allulose, or xylitol. Note 3: Vegetable oils like canola or olive oil work as well.
