I love to be adventurous in the Kitchen and one of my favorite all time past times has always been baking. So imagine me stumbling upon a new way of having your cake whenever you feel like it and at your own convenience.. the Microwave Mug Cake! This easy and very simple cake takes less that five minutes to bake, comes in a single serving - an excuse to be selfish, well, once in a while anyway, it's a dessert that will perk you up each time your sweet tooth comes knocking at your mouth.I knew I just had to have this Delicious, moist, melt in your mouth dessert without delay, I had never tasted a Mug Cake before but the pictures I saw just convinced me that that is exactly what they would be, a delicious little food Heaven in my mouth. So I decided to first start with Chocolate and then all the other flavors and combinations that come after. Believe me, this will not be the last of making Microwave Mug Cakes, watch this space for more of my adventures with this new way of creating yummy desserts.
Ingredients
4 Tablespoons Self Raising Flour
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
4 Tablespoons Caster Sugar (Or regular White Sugar)
1 Medium Egg
3 Tablespoons Milk
3 Tablespoons Margarine/Vegetable Oil
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder (If you do not have Self Raising Flour)
Pinch of Salt
Few Drops Vanilla Essence
Method
Mix the Self Raising Flour and Sugar in a bowl. You are supposed to mix in the Mug that will be used to bake the cake but I didn't want to make a mess with mixing the ingredients. If you have a really big mug you can mix inside it.
-Add the Cocoa Powder
Add the baking powder in case you did not have the Self Raising flour, add also the sprinkle of salt and mix the dry ingredients well
-Add Milk to the dry ingredients
-Add the melted Margarine/Vegetable oil to the mixture
-Pour a few drops of the Vanilla essence or whichever essence you chose to use for the recipe
-Finally add the beaten egg to the mixture and mix well until incorporated. When mixing fold in the mixture instead of just mixing it in, this way you will have a very airy and light mixture
-This is how the final mixture will look like, not too light and not too heavy that it will not cook on the inside.
Pour your chocolate batter mixture into a Microwave Safe Glass mug. Cook in the microwave until the cake is done in the middle. This is 1 minute 45 seconds
-Remove and let it cool. That is how the inside looks like when perfectly cooked. Isn't that the yummiest Mug Cake ever!
