Receta Coffee Chocolate Mug Cake
Coffee Chocolate Mug Cake
Even when we’re crazily busy, we still have to eat something. Why not treat ourselves a delicious chocolate cake even though we feel like no time to make any? This mug cake might serve you well in just 90 seconds. Oh, remember to use a large deep mug if you’d like to give this recipe a go. The cake will rise quite high in the mug. Or else you have to spend extra time to clean up your microwave oven. That’ll end up with more than one and half minutes to enjoy this cake.
- By Christine's Recipes Prep time: 5 mins
- Cook time: 1½ mins
- Yield: 1 serve ( prepare one 350ml-capacity mug)
- Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp plain flour / all purpose flour
- 1½ tsp instant coffee powder
- 2½ Tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 2½ Tbsp castor sugar
- salt, to taste
- 2½ Tbsp milk
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, mix plain flour, instant coffee powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, castor sugar and salt. Set aside.
Use another mixing bowl. Whisk the egg. Add in milk, vanilla extract and the melted butter. Lightly incorporate the flour mixture with a fork. Don’t ever over beat the batter. Just combine all the ingredients. Pour into a mug. Cook in a microwave oven on high for about 1½ minutes. Done. Serve with mint chocolate if you like. Very yummy indeed.
Notes：
Make sure to use a microwave oven friendly mug.
The power of every microwave oven is very different. The cooking time needed might be different from the time suggested in this recipe.
The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your liking. If the mug cake is served on its own without any ice-cream, add some more sugar then.
By using mixing bowls, it’s much easier to combine well without any fuss. For convenience, you may combine all the ingredients in the mug.
If you want to bake this cake in an oven, feel free to experiment the optimal oven temperature and time.
