It was wet and cold today and I wanted to eat Chocolate Cake. The quickest way to make a cake is microwave. Based on my ‘Instant Mug Cake’ recipe, I made this chocolate flavoured one. I used just Cocoa Powder as I didn’t have any Chocolate, but just a tablespoonful of Chocolate Chips would make this mug cake nicer.
Makes
1 Serving *I used 380ml mug
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Butter *1 tablespoon is 15ml
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar *OR White Sugar
1 very small pinch Salt
1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
3 tablespoons Self-Raising Flour
*Note: You can add some chopped Chocolate OR Chocolate Chips.
Cream OR Ice Cream to serve
Method
Place Butter in a mug, microwave for 20-30 seconds OR until Butter melts. Add Brown Sugar, Salt, Cocoa Powder and Vanilla, mix well.
Add Egg and mix well, then add Self-Raising Flour, and mix well until smooth.
Microwave for 1 to 1 & 1/2 minutes OR until cooked. Try not to over-cook it as the cake turns hard. I used 1000W microwave and 1 minute and 20 seconds was absolutely long enough. Enjoy Cream OR Ice Cream.
*Note: The photo below is the same Mug Cake that is cooked with Gluten-Free Flour (mainly Rice Flour) and 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder.
