Today I tried out the chocolate cake recipe. Although it needs a couple of modifications in my opinion, there is potential.
Chocolate Mug Cake
Recipe from Chocolate-Covered Katie
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp cocoa
powder
3 tablespoons spelt flour (or
white, or even peanut flour)
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar (pr evaporated cane
juice)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 stevia packet (or 1 tablespoon
more sugar)
2-3 tsp coconut oil or vegetable
oil (sub applesauce or mashed banana)
3 tablespoons milk of choice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Combine dry ingredients and mix
very, very well. Add liquid, stir, then transfer to a little dish, ramekin, or
even a coffee mug. Microwave 30-40 seconds. If you don’t want to eat it
straight out of the dish, be sure to spray your dish first (and then wait for
it to cool before trying to remove it).

A couple of personal notes:
I used banana instead of oil for a "healthier" alternative. (Only 140 calories without the oil! -- but... you may want to stick with the oil.) The banana taste is definitely prevalent. If you think you can handle the banana taste and texture, more power to ya, just make sure you mix it VERY well.
I also used whole wheat flour. This may affect the taste as well.
Also, I had to microwave it for 30 more seconds after the 40 seconds, so you may need more heating. Try thirty second intervals until you think it's the right consistency.
Overall, this recipe will need some trial and error attempts, but eventually I think could be a winner in my book (or box).
