Introduction of the mug cakes
🎂 Who doesn’t love a good cake? But let’s be real, sometimes we just don’t have the time or energy to whip up a whole cake from scratch. That’s where this little gem of a recipe comes in – a cake in a mug that’s ready in minutes and serves four people. Yes, you heard that right!
Ingredients and Preparation
👩🍳 First things first, gather up your ingredients. You’ll need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, milk, vegetable oil and water. Easy peasy! Now, in a small bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until there are no lumps. Then add the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter will be thick – just how we like it!
Cooking
🥄 Next up, divide the batter evenly between four microwave-safe mugs. Give them a gentle tap on the counter to release any air bubbles. Now comes the fun part – microwaving the cakes! Pop them in the microwave on high for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check them with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, they’re done. If not, give them another 30 seconds.
Results
🎉 And voila! In just 14 minutes, you’ve got yourself delicious cake in a mug. Each serving has 197 calories, 2g of protein, 11g of fat, 24g of carbs and 1g of fiber. Not too shabby for a quick and easy dessert!
Customization
💡 But wait, there’s more! This recipe is super versatile and can be customized to your liking. Want to add some chocolate chips? Go for it! How about using almond milk instead of regular milk? No problem! The possibilities are endless.
Alternative Cooking Method
🔥 And if you’re not a fan of using the microwave, don’t worry – you can make this recipe in the oven instead. Just preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), pour the batter into four oven-safe ramekins or mugs and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Keep in mind that baking times may vary depending on the size and material of your ramekins or mugs.
Cake in a mug is that one thing
😋 So next time you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, give this recipe a try. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
