Chocolate Mug Cake
Oh yum....makes me want to make, and eat another one.
This Chocolate Mug Cake doesn't have frosting, but it really doesn't need it. This is a perfect little treat when you have a monster chocolate sweet tooth, which happens all the time...right? :) One of the GREAT things about this cake, is that you cook it IN the mug, IN the microwave! AND it only takes 3 MINUTES! Can't you tell I am excited about this! Alright, let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 4TBLS all-purpose flour
- 4TBLS sugar
- 2TBLS cocoa powder
- 1 egg
- 3TBLS milk
- 3TBLS olive oil
- 1/2TSP pure vanilla extract
- powdered sugar(which I did use, but didn't take a picture, shoot!)
- 24 chocolate chips(my secret touch I added)
First, sift(which I didn't do) flour, sugar, and cocoa together.
Add in the egg, and stir slowly otherwise you will have cocoa powder everywhere, until combined. I did have a picture of the egg, but my computer decided to delete it.
Add the milk, olive oil, and vanilla, stir.
Drop the chocolate chips on top
Microwave on high for 3 minutes. The cake may rise above the mug, but it will not spill over, so don't worry. I think putting the chocolate chips on top, holds it down a bit. Let it cool for a couple minutes, sprinkle with powder sugar if you would like, and eat up! YUM!
Enjoy!
Question of the Day:
What is your favorite snack/dessert that fulfills your sweet tooth?
I usually always have a sweet tooth after dinner, it is very rare if I don't. Lately I have been snacking on this...
It is pretty good for being the FroYo version. I only eat a little bit each night, so it lasts me a little while.
Well I am off here for the day, enjoy the Chocolate Mug Cake if you can't resist and have to make it ASAP like I did. :) My husband and I are off to the fair tonight, should be a blast if we can take on the 99 degree temperature! Wish us luck! :) See ya!
this is so awesome ashleigh!! dangerous too; now it's easy to satisfy all the chocolate cravings :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea! I always have a sweet tooth but I don't want to just whip up a whole chocolate cake at 9:00 at night. I'm so trying this! I could even have my kids design their own by picking different toppings like M&M's, Reese's, or whatever! Thanks for the recipe! Oh, p.s. I like Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow now I want to make this NOW!!! I will resist the urge( till tonight:)) my favorite desert is cookie dough ice cream!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you girls would like this! Good idea Nicole, you can put a lot of different things in it! I've never tried that ice cream, might have too! Melissa cookie dough is so good! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSo, I was planning to watch a chick flick tonight and thought I would make myself a microwaved mug cake! I made it just like yours and it turned out GREAT!!! I sat down to eat it, got a few bites in, and my husband walked in the door and devoured half my cake! Little bugger, but he like it too! I guess next time I'll make a back up :) Thanks for the recipe!
