Everybody love baking and cakes, baking takes time but what if you can make a small mug cake in just 5 minutes. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp flour
5 tbsp sugar (white or brown)
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
3 tbsp milk
3 tablespoons butter (or any neutral oil)
A pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter)
2 drops of vanilla extract (optional)
How I Made It:
- Get your hands on two microwave safe coffee mugs that can hold about 250ml liquid (basically, nothing too small or the cake will spill over while cooking).
- Halve the quantity of flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and sugar and add into each mug. Mix well with a fork.
- Then halve the quantity of milk, butter, and vanilla and add into each mug. Break egg into another small bowl, whisk with a fork and add half of it into each mug. Stir well until all the ingredients mix well. Make sure there is no flour stuck to the bottom of the mug.
- Add one mug at a time to the microwave and cook on medium heat for 2 mins. Every microwave acts differently and mine is a very basic one with just two knobs, one for heat level (low, medium, high) and one for time. I kept mine on medium and set each mug at 2 mins. The cake turned out perfect. If your microwave can show power levels, etc, keep it at medium and start at 2 mins. You can adjust it once you take a look at your cooked cake.
