3-MINUTE MOLTEN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE



3-Minute Molten Double Chocolate Mug Cake image

Jessie Sheehan's easy 3-minute chocolate mug cake recipe is rich, tender, and moist, with a soft center reminiscent of a molten lava cake.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Time 3m

Yield Yield: 1 mug cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
½ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. sour cream
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
  • Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Mug: Opt for a large mug that can hold at least 1 cup (250 ml) of liquid to prevent overflow.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Microwave in Short Bursts: Cook the cake in short bursts of 30 seconds to 1 minute, checking for doneness in between. This prevents overcooking and ensures even cooking.
  • Experiment with Different Flavors: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or cinnamon for variations in flavor.
  • Top with Your Favorites: Enhance the cake with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate chips, or berries.

Conclusion:

Indulge in a delightful single-serving cake made in the comfort of your home with minimal effort. These mug cake recipes offer a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet cravings. Simply combine a few pantry staples, microwave for a minute, and enjoy a warm, fluffy cake. Customize the flavors and toppings to suit your preferences, making each mug cake a unique and delicious experience.
