Everyone loves to indulge in some sinfully sweet dessert from time to time (or every single night). But, not everyone loves to make them.
A lot can go into making the perfect dessert, and even though it’s a labor of love, oftentimes we still feel guilty for eating it. Why? Because we all know that no one is going to stop at just one serving.
So, wouldn’t it be great if we could find a way to make our favorite dessert in a much simpler way, while also scaling back on just how much of it we produce?
Well, now you can. Meet the mug cake!
You may have heard of these devilishly delicious sweet treats before, and with good reason!
These tasty snacks are not only the perfect serving size but they also only take a matter of minutes to make (prep included), and the best part? They come in a wide variety of flavors!
Of course, we all know that chocolate is everyone’s favorite, and this recipe from Spice Bangla is most definitely going to be your new fave.
And who could blame you?!
Another awesome feature of this decadent little dessert is that all the ingredients can go straight into the mug, making cleanup a snap.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Obviously, a mug
As well as:
- 2 Tblsp. of cocoa powder
- 3 Tblsp. of all-purpose flour
- 2 Tblsp. of sugar
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- salt
- 3 Tblsp. of milk
- 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract
- 2 Tblsp. of vegetable oil
- Small chocolate chunks, a little over 1/2 an oz.
After you’ve gathered everything, add your first five ingredients to the mug.
Using a fork, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure to break up any clumps of flour and cocoa so they are well blended.
When you’re done, your mug cake mix should look almost like sand.
Next, add your milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Gently pour the milk into the mug, followed by the oil and extract. Grab your fork and gently mix the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined. Again making sure that there are no dry clumps left behind.
At this point, you’re ready to add in your chocolate chunks.
You can use either milk or dark chocolate- the choice is yours!
Mix your chocolate chunks into the cake batter.
It’s time for the magic to happen! Microwave your mug cake for just 1 minute.
After your minute is up, your cake should look something like this:
And voila! That’s all there is to making the mug cake.
Of course, if you really want to pamper yourself you can go the extra step…
Sprinkle your mug cake with a beautiful dusting of powdered sugar.
Then, drizzle it with chocolate syrup for an added touch of decadence.
Now all that’s left to do is dig in and enjoy!
