Chocolate Mug Cake

Today I'm going to show you how to make a mug cake. That's right. A cake in a mug. It's literally the coolest thing I've ever made. It's a perfect quick treat to make when you don't have a lot of ingredients in your house. I found the recipe on Pinterest from a website called    http://eugeniekitchen.com/brownie-in-mug/

Serves: 1

Ingredients

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour (30g)
• ¼ cup light brown sugar (50g)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup milk (60ml)
• Chocolate chips, to serve.

Instructions

1. First, in a mug add in all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. And whisk until homogeneous. Make sure there is no cocoa lumps.
2. Add melted unsalted butter and milk into (1). And stir until homogeneously mixed. The chocolate batter smells already so good.
3. Clean the rim a little and microwave for 1 minute. The oven is set to 800 watt and my brownie doesn't explode. Check the power of your microwave oven and if yours is stronger, microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Then repeat microwaving for 10 seconds at a time until there is no fluid on surface. It took 1 minute and 30 seconds today.
4. Arranging chocolate chips on top would be a great idea. Let cool little for about 20 minutes before serving.

The recipe above recommends to cook the mug cake for one minute in the microwave, but my microwave does not have a lot of power so I cooked it for around two minutes. It really just depends on your microwave.

This is a really cool treat to make, and it only takes five ingredients. I really enjoyed making this because it was really simple, and tasty!
