Donut Mug Cake Recipe | What Is The Recipe Of Donut Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp granulated white sugar
- 6 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp ground nutmeg this looks like a very small amount, but please do not omit this!
- 1 3/4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp low fat or fat free milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate ganache frosting optional:
- 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp boiling heavy cream
Instructions
-
In a microwave-safe mug add all ingredients. Mix with a mini whisk until batter is smooth. Cook cake in microwave at full power about 1 minute 30 seconds or until top of cake is done. Let cake cool a few minutes before eating or decorating. Cake is best consumed soon after it is cooked or it will start to dry out.
-
Use a cupcake corer to remove some of the center of your cake, creating a donut appearance. I only cored out half rather than having the hole go straight to the bottom. For a cinnamon sugar finish, lightly brush the surface with butter and then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon.
-
To make ganache frosting, add boiling heavy cream to chocolate chips and whisk until smooth and glossy. If your chocolate is not completely melted, microwave briefly for about 10 seconds and then try to whisk again until smooth and glossy. Chocolate ganache should be thick but slightly running, making it easy to spread on the donut cake.
Tips:
- Toppings: For extra indulgence, you can top the cake with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Flavor variations: Try adding a few chocolate chips or a spoonful of fruit jam (like raspberry or strawberry) for a twist on the classic donut flavor.
- Doughnut Hole Style: If you want to make it more “donut hole” style, you can shape the cake into a round ball by spreading the batter in a smaller, round mug and cutting out the center once it’s baked. Glaze the top and serve as mini donut holes!
This donut mug cake is quick, satisfying, and perfect for a sweet treat without any hassle!
