How to Make Cake in a Mug
Ingredients
Recipe 1 - Hot Cocoa Chocolate Cake
- 9 Tbsp. hot chocolate powder mix
- look for sugar-free, calcium fortified mix for a healthier cake
- 4 Tbsp. self raising flour
- use whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp. oil
- for a healthier recipe, use canola oil, and replace half the oil with apple sauce
- 3 Tbsp. water
- Pinch of salt
Recipe 2[1] - Chocolate Cake
- 4 Tbsp. cake flour
- if you don't have cake flour, sift 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour and 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- other kinds of flour will work as well, but the cake will be heavier
- 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cocoa
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp. milk (any kind)
- 3 Tbsp. oil (any kind but peanut)
- splash in a little vanilla
Recipe 3[2] - Honeybun coffee cake
- 1/3 cup (75g) yellow cake mix
- 1 egg white
- 2 Tsp. vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. water
- topping mix (optional)
- 2 Tsp. brown sugar
- 1 Tsp. finely chopped pecans
- 1/4 Tsp. cinnamon
[edit]Steps
- Grease the inside of the mug with cooking spray.
- Measure and pour the dry ingredients into the mug. Stir ingredients with a spoon.
- Crack the egg and add it to the mug. Stir to get the egg incorporated in the dry ingredients.
- Measure and pour the wet ingredients into the mug.
- Stir and beat everything together to get a "cake batter" mix. Use your spoon to scrape the bottom. Fold the bottom mixture onto the top a few times to get all of the dry ingredients (chocolate powder and flour) moistened and incorporated with the wet ingredients (water, egg, and oil).
- Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Timing may be different for various watt amounts.
- Watch as the cake starts to rise while in the microwave.
- Use a potholder or oven mitt to remove the mug from the microwave.
- Remove the cake from the mug. Take a fork and cut the cake into 4 pieces (quarters). Cutting the cake will help it cool down faster.
- Garnish the cake with ice cream, whipped cream, glaze, syrup, or another topping of your choice.
