I came across this recipe the other day, and had to try it. Here’s my attempt at “chocolate cake in a mug”.
In a mug, mix 4 T. flour, 4 T. sugar and 2 T. cocoa.
Add 1 egg, 3 T. milk and 3 T. oil. Mix well!
Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Turn cake out of mug onto a plate. Enjoy!
I was unsuccessful in convincing the children that I was making scrambled eggs for my breakfast (hey! there’s a scrambled egg in there!) and they had to come over to see what I was doing.
The verdict: Not too bad! It definitely wouldn’t compare with an oven-baked cake, but it was quick and easy, and went well with my morning coffee. The only clean-up is the mug, tablespoon, and wiping up the microwave where the cake dripped while cooking. Compared to “real baking” that’s definitely a bonus!
As soon as I saw this on your blog I had to try it. The taste was good but it seemed a bit chewy. Not in a bad way, just a different texture from regular cake. In a pinch and on a major pms day- awesome!!!
Yummy! I’ve had this before, but no recipe. Thanks!
i so have to try this. hubski is on a low carb diet so baking a whole cake is out of the question. this just might satisfy that yen for cake once in a while.
