Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • Serves 2
  • Recipe courtesy: chef John of foodwishes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

DIRECTIONS

  • Whisk egg, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips into the mixture; whisk in milk.
  • Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can’t see visible flour.
  • Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Place cups into microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on High for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Lightly dust each serving with confectioners’ sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve.

Notes

✔️ When whisking the flour in the batter, DO NOT OVERMIX. That will leave you with a tough cake.
✔️ You can toast sliced almonds in a frying pan for few seconds. Don’t skip the toasting part, to get nice crunchy almonds in the cake.
