Vegan peanut butter chocolate mug cake

As the conclusion to my “mug cake” miniseries (after this vanilla raspberry chocolate chip cake and this chocolate chip cookie), I have for you today the richest and most delicious of mug cake flavors, more chocolaty and peanut butter-y and scrumptious than you can imagine.

Gluten-free and vegan peanut butter chocolate layer cake

I think it’s high time I posted another one of those big, bold, and beautiful layer cakes. Don’t you agree?

This time, I’m setting out to prove that it is possible to make amazingly delicious desserts without the assistance of eggs, dairy, wheat—grains, even, since this cake is made with quinoa (a pseudocereal with gluten-esque properties)—or any kind of animal product you can think of. Sub some kind of other nut butter (almond butter, probably, since it’s the most similar to peanut butter in flavor), and you’ve got rid of another common allergen. People, this is some mildly world-changing shit. Do you know how many fat (but happy) vegans this cake has given birth to?!
