Decadent Microwave Mocha Mug Cake
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mug:
Begin by selecting a microwave-safe mug. Ensure your mug is large enough to prevent the batter from overflowing when it rises during cooking.
2. Melt the Butter:
Place the 2 tablespoons of butter in your mug and microwave for about 10-15 seconds until melted.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
Add the 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of instant coffee to the melted butter. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Add the Dry Ingredients:
Sift in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt into the mug. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms.
5. Incorporate Boiling Water:
Carefully pour in the 2 tablespoons of boiling water and mix until the batter is uniform and smooth.
6. Microwave the Mug Cake:
Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 1 minute to 1 minute 15 seconds. The exact time may vary depending on microwave wattage (assume a 1000W microwave). The cake should rise and set, but remain slightly gooey in the center.
7. Serve:
Allow the mug cake to cool slightly before enjoying. It is best served warm and can be topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
