Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds before you start cooking.
Put the flour, erythritol-stevia sweetener, baking powder, and salt in the mug and stir to combine.
Add a Tablespoon of water, yogurt, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and half of the chocolate chips.
Mix all ingredients together so that no dry or wet spots remain. Then, beat together for a few more times.
Top with remaining chocolate chips. Now, pour a teaspoon of water over the batter and chips.
Microwave at 80 to 90% power for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The top should be just set. If the center is still wet, microwave in 10-second intervals on 100% power until it is done.It will continue to cook after you take it out of the microwave. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few crumbs clinging to it.(Be careful of overcooking. You don't want a tough, rubbery cake!)
Let sit for a minute or two and cool slightly before eating. Top with a splotch of whipped cream. Vanilla ice cream is also delicious on the cake!
Oven Baking Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
After mixing the batter (follow the recipe through step 5), pour it into a ramekin coated with baking spray. Place it on a tray in the center of the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean or with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
Let cool for about 5 minutes and then enjoy topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
To make sure the cake cooks through the center, choose a wide mug for microwaving.This cake doesn't need an egg! It gets plenty of protein from Greek yogurt.Eggs are expensive right now! Save them for a meal or for a larger cake!The microwave cooks the cake so that it steams a little. The resulting dessert is a cross between a pudding and a cake. Yum!
