Microwaved Hot Cocoa Mug Cake Recipe | What Is The Recipe Of Microwaved Hot Cocoa Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 2 and ½ Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 and ½ Tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp. baking soda
- ⅛ tsp. salt
- 3 Tbsp. milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- ⅓ cup whipped cream from a can or made from whipping cream, I prefer unsweetened here
Instructions
-
In a large microwave-safe coffee mug combine the dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil and vanilla and stir to combine.
-
Microwave on high power for 1 minute. Microwaves vary: If a fork stuck in comes out with soft crumbs rather than uncooked dough, you're all set (and so is the cake).
-
Top with the whipped cream and garnish with a dash of cinnamon or some chocolate shavings.
Tips and Variations:
- Toppings: Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or even a few extra chocolate chips to make it even more indulgent.
- Vegan Version: For a dairy-free and vegan version, use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and vegan butter or oil.
- Gluten-Free Version: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. Just be sure to check the consistency and adjust the liquid slightly if needed.
- Make it Minty: Add peppermint extract (a drop or two) along with the vanilla for a fun, mint-chocolate variation.
- Add-ins: You can also add a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella in the center for a gooey surprise!
