KING BAKER'S RECIPE #15: Chocolate Cake in a MUG
Every once and a while, there will be nights where I am not wanting to bake at all, but crave the taste of something chocolately and cakey! So this recipe will help you on days or even a midnight snack, where you don't want to do any grand baking. This is a Chocolate Cake in a mug! This recipe taste so delicious and is very soft!
The Equipment for both recipes you will need is:
1x Large Mug
1x Medium size bowl
1x Whisk
1x Spatula
Cooking Spray
Prep/Creation Time: 7-8 minutes
Cooking Time 1.30-1.45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 Egg
1/4 CUP White Granulated Sugar
1/4 TSP Salt
2 TBSP Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
2 TBSP Melted Butter
1/8 TSP Vanilla Extract
3 TBSP Milk
1/4 CUP All Purpose Flour
1/4 TSP Baking Powder
GARNISH: Vanilla Ice Cream and Icing Sugar/Cocoa Powder
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS* (If you want to make your chocolate cake special, add any of these ingredients):
1 or 2 TBSP Mini Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
2 TBSP Toasted Sliced Almonds
1 TBSP Shredded Coconut
Procedures:
1) Melt your butter in a small bowl. Let it set out for a few minutes to cool.
HINT #1: It's a must to let your butter cool before stirring it in. You don't want to scramble the eggs.
2) In a medium sized bowl, place your sugar, egg, salt, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Blend with a whisk until blended.
3) While stirring, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. Mix until combined.
4) Add in your milk and any of the optional ingredients. Blend well. Add in your flour and baking powder and mix until combined.
5) Spray your mug with cooking spray. Using a spatula, pour your mixture into the mug. Be sure to scrape all the batter in. Once complete, lightly tap the cup on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
6) Place in the microwave and cook, on high, for 1.30-1.45 minutes. When done, use a toothpick and poke it in the center. If it comes out clean, then it's done. The top may not look done, but trust me, it is. Let cool!
7) To Garnish: Add a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream or Chocolate Frosting and lightly dust some Icing Sugar or Cocoa Powder to make it look pretty!
This literally takes under 10 minutes to put together. Once you try this recipe, this will only be your midnight snack!
HAPPY BAKING!
